Pull on your woollies, lace up your sneakers, don your antlers, and warm your hearts at the 5th Annual Reindeer Run/Walk on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 9 a.m.
It's the feel-good event of the season with all proceeds benefiting the Bowen Island Christmas Hamper. We start in the meadows next to the BIHORA paddock and head over the bridge, turn left and take the upper trail to Magee Road to the yellow gate. Here the 2.5 km reindeer turn left, and left again on the lower trail and back to the meadows. The 5 km reindeer turn right at the yellow gate and continue on Magee Road turning back at the Magee Road fork, left on the lower trail, back to the bridge, and repeat this loop finishing in the meadow.
Sport your complimentary antlers complete with bells and jingle all the way. There are prizes for the best-dressed reindeer. Hot chocolate and goodies are served at the finish line in the meadows, rain or less rain.
Entry forms are available at positivelyfit.ca and the Bowen Island Community Recreation office. We prefer that you register by Friday, Dec. 9, at 4 p.m. but no reindeer will be turned away Saturday morning.
For information call the reindeer wranglers at the community recreation at 604 947-2216.
Oh, what fun!
