    Come and join us on Saturday August 29th, running or walking the beautiful trails of Crippen Park on Bowen Island!

    8:45 am: Kids' 1.0K run

    9:15 am: 10K run and 5K run/walk

    10:30 am: Prize giving on the Library lawn

    Online registration starts on June 15 and ends on August 28th at 9:00 pm. On-site registrations accepted on Saturday August 29th from 7:45 am on.

    This year we are excited to encourage everyone to register on a TEAM! Your team can have as many people as you want but must be more than 2 people. How about a family team - the Smith Team?!

    New information this year: We have shortened the kids' run to ONE K (from 1.5K) to allow younger kids to easily finish the run.

    We have a $75 family registration fee, valid for grandparents, parents and kids, up to 5 family members. Here is how to do it:

    1. Click on the Family Pack button and register yourself in a sub-event.

    2. Click on Add Another Registrant.

    3. Remember to CLICK ON FAMILY PACK FOR EACH MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY BEFORE choosing their sub-events (10K, 5K, etc.).

    4. You will be charged only $75 at the end of your transaction! If not, please don't pay, but go back to the sub-event for family members as it is easy to miss the details. Contact us at 604-828-3249 if this still doesn't work for you. We will arrange a refund or guide you through the process.

    If you're on your own, there is a $35 individual registration fee for 5km and 10km distances, or $10 for a child in the kids' run.

    We are not selling new T-shirts this year, but on run day there will be a variety available from previous years at very good prices!

    Your registration fee (and your donation) goes directly to Komera Canada, a registered Canadian charity that supports young women at high school and university in Rwanda;. They depend on us to complete their education, so please bring your family and friends to join us for the run/walk on August 29th!
