Scotiabank Vancouver 5K & Half Marathon
The running season is here! Get ready for The Scotiabank Half-Marathon and 5K Charity Challenge!!!
Last year, YW staff, volunteers, family and friends raised over $15K for the Welcome to My Life and Boys4Real programs. We also won the category of highest average funds raised per person, which earned an additional $5K award from Scotiabank! Are you up for the challenge again this year?
Here's how to get involved:
- Book and train for the event date: Sunday, June 27th 9am (5K run or walk) or 7am (half-marathon)
- Register to run on the website: www.vancouverhalf.com
- Register as a fund raiser belonging to Team YWCA Vancouver (minimum amount to count as a fund raiser is only $10!)
- Tell your neighbours, co-workers, family & friends to pledge their support
- Train for race day!
We're 90 days out from event day - plenty of time to both train and raise funds for this terrific event! The H+F and Youth Teams look forward to your participation in achieving our goal of raising $20K this year.
