TIME TO PERSEVERE!

PERSEVERANCE TRAIL RUN: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25TH 11:00AM START!

We are getting super stoked about tomorrow's race and looking forward to seeing you all in Cumberland on Sunday morning!

The forecast is looking like we will get a classic, wet, fall trail run on Sunday so leave your white socks at home! Our list of registered racers is growing and we are anticipating another big turnout for this years event. Thank you for your support of the community fundraising event- see you soon!

PRE RACE NUMBER PICK UP: New this year, we are offering an opportunity for you to pick up your race number TODAY between 1 and 5pm at Extreme Runners 436 5th st. Our friendly volunteers will greet you at the store, confirm your registration and give you your race number and t-shirt if you pre-ordered one. This means you get to avoid the long line up on Sunday!

RACE DAY DETAILS: Race starts at 11:00am with pre-race registration taking place from 9:00-10:30am and pre-race announcements at 10:45am. No. 6 Mine Park behind the Cumberland Rec Centre on Dunsmuir. Park in the gravel parking lot beside the rec centre and walk to the park for race central.

FUNDRAISER: All proceeds go directly to the Cumberland Community Forest Society! Thank you for supporting this great local cause and for giving back to the forest lands so that we can continue to enjoy them in the future!

Maps & T-Shirt sales on race day will also go towards the CCFS and you can meet members of the Forest Society to learn more about this great cause.

SWAG, FOOD & PRIZES!
