2008 Fraser Valley Trail Run Series
Presented by Adidas and Peninsula Runners
This is a series of four runs taking place in beautiful park settings in the Fraser Valley (see right column). Each run will be on trails within the park and will be well marked. However these trails will be wet and muddy so come prepared to have fun and experience running in its most natural environment.
After each run we will have something warm to drink and some good tasting snacks to munch on. Each run will have some great draw prizes, so stick around and see if you win! Results will be available in either store by the next day, and posted soon after on this page (in right column).
Entry Fees
Single Race Entry in advance: $10

The net proceeds of this series will go to support track & field in our local community. One of the projects we have been working on and continue to raise money for is the new track surface upgrade at the South Surrey track.
