Thank you to everyone who came out to support the 4th annual charity run for the food bank today. Together we collected two trunks FULL of food and raised funds. I gave half of the donations to my Dad so he could drop off at the food bank in Winfield and the other half will supply Kelowna. 
We had over 60 people show their community spirit and make a difference. Thank you to the PACE team for volunteering their time to lead the run and hike groups! 
Happy holidays! Due to the current icy conditions in Myra Bellevue Provincial Park, we have changed the location of the event to keep everyone safe and make it a positive experience. Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility!

Rene Unser Race Director  This Sunday, December 14th will mark the 4th annual Holiday Hamper Trail Run with PACE Sports Fitness. The generous and outstanding PACE team volunteers their time & expertise to help give back to the community each year, in exchange for donations towards the Kelowna Food Bank.  We make it easy for everyone to get involved and choose a group that is best suited for you, your fitness level and comfort. We use a "loose" formula based on your fastest 10k road time. If you don't know your fastest 10k time, then we suggest going conservative. Either way, nobody is going to be left behind or excluded. Look at the crew in the photo above... it doesn't get any kinder or more supportive that that ;) This is NOT a race. It's a fun, social trail run with the goal to bring people together, enjoy a trail run and support our local food bank. The duration of the run or hike is 75-90min. After the run we encourage you to bring warm layers, jackets and pack some hot cocoa or tea in a thermos. PACE will provide cookies and sweets :) If you have a preference, please bring it along!
