Our Oceanside (Parksville / Qualicum) based run club provides a welcoming and friendly environment for you to meet others and reach your fitness goals. If you are just starting out or have been running for years, ORCA is a great community to join.
Regardless of your running abilities, we encourage you to join. There are club members who can run with you and keep you motivated.
Congratulations to all participants in the 2026 Mother’s Day Race. Results are linked on the Mother’s Day Run page
