Merville is one of ten races in the Thrifty Foods Island Race Series. This is the club's big race and it attracts over 300 plus competitive and recreational runners and walkers from all over Vancouver Island. In late October is the Miracle Beach 10k, a popular and fun race. Participants come from both Campbell River and the Comox Valley for the best 10k on the Island. Tricks and treats include hot soups and cakes, and pumpkins and pies for prizes.
Money is raised through pledges and hat and T-shirt sales.
