carry on bravely
2016 will mark the 5th annual charity run hosted by PACE Sports Fitness. In past years we have ran 3 different epic destinations: Kelowna to Naramata (2012 & 2015), Salmon Arm to Sicamous Traverse (2013) & the High Rim Trail/Kelowna to Vernon (2014).
This year we have decided to return to OK MTN Park and run over to Naramata again. We have decided to run the classic route which is 30km, 1000m ascent & 700m. Runners can expect the route to take 4-5hrs. It is our primary goal to support local charity and have everyone feel unified, challenged and have a goal that is tangible and successful for them.
We will have two different start times again this year, however only 30min apart. This strategy allows the groups to spread out and get into a groove within the first few hours of our journey, however make no mistake about it. This is a social run and not a race! The two groups will naturally regroup along the way and we will then continue and finish our journey as one united group.
It's tradition to have lunch in Penticton and celebrate with all the amazing people who journeyed together and made a difference for a wonderful cause.
Please note: We are going to hire a bus to take runners home from Penticton and there will be a small charge per person for this. This is separate from your fundraising requirements and will be approx. $15 per person.
Our charity run has supported both the Canadian Cancer Society and CMHA Kelowna (Canadian Mental Health Association) and has raised over $35,000 in 4 years. This year we again will be supporting CMHA Kelowna and we appreciate their ongoing support with our events.
This is a non-profit event. PACE organizes the run and volunteers. We supply refreshments and snacks at the finish and 100% of the proceeds go back to charity. Everyone is welcome from near and far! There is a 30 person cap on participation. It is first come, first serve basis.
