Campbell River Comets

Campbell River Comets is a track and field club founded in 1994 serving the Campbell River area on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It is open to athletes of all ages from 10 upwards, including adults, although most of the competitive programme centres on the Junior Development (10-14) category, with older youth and junior athletes competing in their own age groups. Training covers track and field events, and a cross-country season programme also runs in the autumn.

The club is a non-profit member of the Vancouver Island Athletics Association, BC Athletics and Athletics Canada, with several coaches present at practices covering different events. Registration is handled through AthleticsReg, and new members joining for the autumn term must register there; current-season athletes are eligible for cross-country training. As a competitive club, athletes are encouraged to enter at least two track meets per season from the Vancouver Island circuit, with further provincial-level meets for more advanced athletes; each host club sets its own entry fees, usually a daily or weekend fee with unlimited events, and athletes wear the club-provided jersey. Coaches set up a meeting point under the club tent at meets to hand out bib numbers and schedules. Practice times and contact details are on the club website.
