Saunders Subaru Victoria Half
BY: wenceslasz on 2014-03-19 10:23 PM
I'm signed up for June 15th and looking ahead to it. I was wondering if there are any campsites on Saanich Penninsula or will I need a hotel?
And, come race day any suggestions for parking? I used to live in Central Saanich and I don't recall a lot of parking at Elk Lake.
Also like to hear any chatter on the bike (fast or slow; windy or calm) and run course.
Who else is signed up?

I have no idea about campsites, but I stayed at the Cherry Tree Inn last year. Not much to look at from the inside, but room was clean, owner was fantastic and prices totally reasonable. Very close to Elk Lake. Parking was short at the venue for sure. We parked ('illegally') at a local business that was closed on race day. The bike is hilly and there was some cross wind on the flat section. Run is mostly flat on trail around the lake. Not headed there this year simply due to other races--I would do the race again for sure.
Hope this helps and good luck!
