NAKUSP HAS A RUNNING GROUP


Spring is 'almost' here and then it's bathing suit season.
What better time to get in shape than right now.

Kari Tithecott started the Arrow Lakes Running Group recently and it is gaining popularity. A group of about 10 to 12 runners meets every Tuesday morning at 9:00am for training and tips and the enthusiasm of the group is catching.


It's been so popular that Kari has decided to put a running event in Nakusp on

SUNDAY, May 8th in and around Cenotaph Park

THIS EVENT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A RUNNER!

5k Run - starting at 9:30am

2k Walk - starting at 9:45am

100m Kid's Run - starting at 10:45am

CHARITY BBQ - Starting at 11:00am

Draw Prizes (post-race)

This is a family Event. Registration forms are available at our store (Little Mountain) or at People's Pharmacy.
Registration fees are:
$15.00 - for the 5k run
$10.00 - for the 2k walk

All event day proceeds will go to the Arrow Lakes Mountain Trust. This will support a variety of local causes such as a new charity being developed that will assist Nakusp residents with costs related to out of town medical treatment."
