Come RUN + SAUNA with Ritual!

Looking for a fresh way to train, recover, and meet like‑minded people in Victoria? Ritual Nordic Spa invites you to the Run + Sauna Social, a fun community event combining a guided 5 km social run in downtown Victoria with a deeply restorative Nordic spa contrast therapy experience.

This event is designed for runners, fitness enthusiasts, and wellness lovers who believe recovery is just as important as the miles.

Event Schedule

6:00 PM | Check-in at Ritual Nordic Spa
Arrive early to check in, meet fellow runners and your Run Guide Elise Coates, and get ready to move. Participation is capped to keep the experience social and supportive.

6:15–6:45 PM | 5 km Guided Social Run (Downtown Victoria)
Hit the streets for a 5 km group run at a conversational pace, following a downtown Victoria route selected by the run guide. Expect good vibes, steady movement, and community energy! Your guides will be Elise Coates, an all terrain runner from Vancouver Island, and Jayda Jurome—Arc’teryx Kelowna’s run clinic leader — acting as caboose to ensure no runner is left behind.

6:45 PM | Return, Rinse & Reset
Back at Ritual Nordic Spa, runners will head to the change rooms to rinse off and change into swimwear before entering the Nordic circuit.

Nordic Spa & Contrast Therapy (Up to 2 Hours)

Recover like a pro with Ritual’s self-guided Nordic circuit, a proven approach to post-run recovery that supports circulation, muscle relaxation, and mental clarity. Your experience includes:

• Hot sauna and steam room
• Cold plunge pool and Nordic bucket shower
• Relax in the Himalayan salt lounge or on the outdoor patio

Guests are encouraged to cycle between hot and cold immersion, with rest periods in between—listen to your body, slow your breath, and let the contrast do the work.

Social Cool-Down + Kombucha

This is a social run and sauna event, making it a great way to connect with the Victoria run and wellness community. After completing the circuit, gather in the café to relax, refuel, and chat. Enjoy a complimentary kombucha as part of the post-sauna hang.

Event wraps up at 9:00 PM.
