Registration is now underway for the 50th annual B.C. Elementary School Track and Field Championships, slated for May 25-27 at Minoru Park.
Hosted by the Kajaks Track and Field Club, organizers have been busy planning special anniversary celebrations to reflect the milestone year.
“We expect up to 1,600 kids to take part this year, and we are hoping a new and festive atmosphere will contribute to the excitement around the event,” said Kajaks Track and Field Club Head Coach Garrett Collier. “The kids can expect music, limited edition official BCEC merchandise, a new medal design and a great environment to compete and have a great time.”
This event was created with the purpose of providing a fun and safe competitive experience for athletes of all ages and abilities. All elementary school aged athletes are welcome, whether they are new or experienced to the sport of track and field.
The BCEC is run by a group of volunteers at the Kajaks who have stepped up to ensure this event is world-class each year.
“Without our volunteers, none of this would be possible,” added Collier.
The Kajaks are offering early bird pricing for entries through May 11 at $7.50 per event for athletes. To register or learn more visit www.kajaks.ca/bcec/
