June 11, 2015 – Vancouver, BC

lmrrs-logoCanada Running Series is pleased to announce that Vancouver’s newest 10k race will be the grand finale for the Lower Mainland Road Race Series (LMRRS). The Eastside 10k event is a premiere Canadian 10 km road race celebrating its third year running through the streets and heart of Vancouver’s Eastside. The event boasts some of the best runners from within the province and from across Canada.

The unique route showcases Eastside communities: Strathcona, Hastings Crossing, Railtown, and Gastown. Working with charities that are embedded in the community has quickly cemented the run in the calendar for many local runners. Key charity partners include the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre, the Vancouver Food Bank, and Watari Support and Counselling.

“It’s great to have the Vancouver Eastside 10k named as the grand finale event of the Lower Mainland Road Race Series,” said Race Director Clif Cunningham, “we are pleased that series events have chosen the Eastside 10k to be the finale at which series awards will be presented.”

The LMRRS features 11 events throughout the Lower Mainland that started February 1st with the Steveston Ice Breaker 8K in Richmond. Runners must compete in 5 of the 11 races to qualify. Runners score points in 5 year incremental age categories with awards being presented at the culmination of the Eastside 10k. More information on the series can be found at lmrrs.com
