Hello fellow runners!

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!
