Fed up with the unreliable weather this summer? Runners (and walkers) will tell you that at least the temperatures have made good conditions for trail running and hiking. Bowen trails are full of young and old, hopefully training for the Rotary Run for Rwanda, this year's replacement for Run for the Ferry on Bowfest day, August 27.
There is still lots of time to do a little training if you haven't started yet. For 5K runners, the course is identical to last year's and 10K runners get a break on the hills, by doing two loops of the 5K run. Children will do the same 1.5K run as last year, and walkers will do the 5K course at their leisure.
Registration forms are available at First Credit Union, Phoenix, Positively Fit, the Gym, the Rec. Centre office and also on the website, www.runfortheferry.ca.
So gear up your running and walking legs, and support a great cause, the Komera Project, a non-profit organization supported by the Rotary Club of Bowen Island. There will be prizes for winners, good snacks at the finish line and lots of fun all round.
