The City of Williams Lake is inviting residents to celebrate fall’s arrival for the 10th Annual Harvest Nutrition Run, scheduled for Sunday, September 21.
The free, family-friendly event beings at 11 a.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex (CMRC) front parking lot. Waivers will be available for signing starting at 10:30 a.m., followed by a brief warm-up led by CMRC fitness instructor Meagan Bruneski.
Open to all ages, the five-kilometre route winds through downtown Williams Lake is open to all forms of active transportation from walking and running to bikes, scooters, skateboards, strollers and wheelchairs.
“This event is all about staying active and heathy while enjoying the fall season with friends, family and even pets,” said Maria McKee, Adult Recreation Program Coordinator.
Along the course, families can take part in a ‘True or False’ nutrition-themed trivia game and children can search for scarecrows to enter a draw for a chance to win a prize basket. Healthy snacks and refreshments will be served at noon.
The run is supported by Interior Health, GoByBike BC and the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, who will be in attendance sharing resources on food security, local farming, composting and active transportation. The Williams Lake Farmers Market has also donated local produce prizes, with FreshCo and Save-On-Foods supplying fruit for participants.
Community Policing volunteers will be on site to help ensure safety along the route.
Join us on Sunday, September 21 for the 10th Annual Harvest Nutrition Run, starting at 10:30 a.m. for waiver pickup at the CMRC parking lot, with the warm-up at 10:50 a.m. and the run beginning at 11 a.m. The event is completely free and open to all ages and abilities.
