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.
The new ORCA logo revealed – February 2026.
We have launched a refreshed logo, designed by our very own and very talented Kelly Stauffer! You will start to see this logo across our various platforms (website, Facebook, merchandise) in the coming weeks. Thank you to Catherine Trembath who initiated this new design process!
