The Under Armour Eastside 10k unveiled their 2017 finisher medals and race shirts at their kick-off event last night. Over 50 local runners and race day pacers celebrated the unveiling of this year’s memorabilia with a 6k social run. The run went out on a loop from the Greater Vancouver Food Bank (GVFB) and featured parts of the new 2017 race course. The GVFB is one of the key charities for the UA Eastside 10k this year.
The medal for the Under Armour Eastside 10k’s 5th anniversary features the East Van cross. Presented in the same unique dog-tag style medal featured in previous years, this year’s medal features another iconic landmark of Vancouver’s Eastside.
The 2017 Under Armour Pace Team joined in on the medal and shirt reveal. In preparation for race day, the pacers received their pacing kits and got a first hand look at the course. There will be a pair of pacers for each of the following times: 45:00; 50:00; 55:00; 60:00; 65:00; 70:00 and 75:00. They will be running to help you achieve your race day goals!
A big thank you to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank for showing runners around the facility, and for helping out at the event.
