1. Richmond Olympic Parkrun: Saturday, May 20:
Get up early and get moving at the weekly Richmond Olympic Parkrun held Saturdays at the Middle Arm Trail and Waterfront Greenway (7920 Cambie Road). Start time is 8:45 a.m. Parkruns are free, weekly, 5 km timed runs, which take place all around the world, including Richmond. People of every age and ability are encouraged to take part from those taking their first steps in running to Olympians. Each event relies 100 per cent on volunteers, so even if running isn’t your thing, feel free to get in touch if you’d like to encourage from the sidelines and help us to run the show.
