VANCOUVER – August 29, 2016
Crews and clubs are coming together to support our local Eastside 10k charities and run. Here are the clubs that have signed up so far, along with the charities they are supporting.
- Breakfast Club of Canada – East Van Run Club (EVRC), Run Co Flight Crew
- Watari Counselling and Support Services – Fraser Street Run Club (FSRC), Vancouver Falcons Athletic Club (VFAC)
- Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre – Mile 2 Marathon
- Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society – West Van Run Club
If you are a member of any of the crews, when you are registering choose join a group or team, instead of individual registration and choose your respective club. Then complete the registration form, contact your crew leaders as each has a discount code that you can use to register.
Follow the Crews!
The best place to find the clubs is through their social profiles.
You may not be the fastest person in your club, but there are many ways that you can support club to become the Eastside 10k Crew Champions. Help you team by fundraising for the charity they are supporting. Just by running you help, the total number of runners for each crew counts towards the total points. Run in a costume, the best costumes will be recognized for each crew! If you can’t run, again your fundraising would count to the total, but you can also show your spirit at one of the crew cheer stations on the course. The cheer station with the most spirit out there, not only helps encourage the runners but will be recognized as well.
Some of the special initiatives that we’ve heard of so far:
EVRC will be hosting a 6 hour endurance challenge, to see how many miles they can run on a treadmill, against themselves and other crews. It will take place on September 14th, with location still TBD. EVRC is also hosting a pizza run on Sept 12, with proceeds going towards the Breakfast Clubs of Canada. And once again have their special “Horns out” EVRC growlers on sale to support their charity.
Fraser Street will be promoting their silent auction for a number of great prizes, donated by their club members and supporters. Watch their Facebook and Instagram for details.
