The run, part of the Summerland Action Festival, will take place Saturday, June 1 at 9 a.m. There is a 5.7-kilometre urban loop and a 10-kilometre run encircling the base of Giant’s Head Mountain.
Early bird pricing is available for those who register by May 12. The first 400 registrants will receive a race shirt. To register, visit www.runningroom.com.
The start and finish line for the race is outside the Summerland Aquatic and Fitness Centre, 13205 Kelly Ave.
The Kids Fun Zone will include inflatables from Par-T-Perfect, an obstacle course from SportBall Okanagan, and post-race refreshments. It will be open from 9 to 11 a.m. Post-race awards will start at 10:30 a.m.
“We encourage the community to come join in the celebrations, either by participating in the run or by cheering on family and friends to support healthy and active lifestyles,” said Mayor Doug Holmes.
