The sun is coming out and the perfect running weather is finally here! Many of you are have started your season and have been or are going to events. Just a couple of thing to note that are coming up;
1. May 11th (Mother’s Day!) brings the 8th Annual Spirit Run hosted by the Bruce Denniston Bone Marrow Society. Distances include 5k, 10, 4 person 20k relay or the half marathon. There are great prizes and it is a terrific event that supports a 100% local charity. Early registrants get a t-shirt. Register at Bruce Debnniston Bone Marrow Society – 485-8488 on Marine or at Avid Fitness Center.
2. May 25th is the first run hosted by the Brooks Running Club. It will be a 5K or 10K walk or run with all of the proceeds going to the “Pass the Hat for the Cat” which is raising funds to buy a CAT scan machine for our hospital – a badly needed diagnostic tool. Runners can pre-register here at Avid.
3. June 17th is the 24th annual Twilight Shuffle 5K in Chemainus. This is a fast course with tech t-shirts for all entrants and other great prizes. Register by phone at 250-595-2378 or e-mail islandrunner@telus.net
Finally, a local runner has begun putting together a website/blog site which will function as the “location” of Powell River’s Virtual Running Club. We will keep you posted! As soon as he is confident to “release” it, we will e-mail the link to everyone.
Get running – keep running!
