The annual 8K race, jog or walk race for Richmond seniors will take place along the banks of the Fraser River at the Olympic Oval on Sunday, Sept. 10.
The ninth incarnation of the Forever Young Club (FYC) 8K invites people aged 55 and over to take part in the event, which kicks off at 8:40 a.m. with opening ceremonies.
The race attracts hundreds of participants from Richmond and the Lower Mainland and includes everything from serious and casual runners to joggers and walkers.
The event winds its way along the beautiful middle-arm dike of the Fraser River to Terra Nova and back.
At the Oval Plaza, vendors specific to seniors will promote their wares and music will be from the 60s and 70s.
Anyone aged 90 and over gets free registration and awards will be presented to all age group winners and draw prizes for those with a lucky number.
The event is a not-for-profit event and is registered by BC Athletics.
All proceeds after expenses go to FYC’s charity of choice The Dream On Foundation by Nurse Next Door, which is similar to ‘Make a Wish’ for Children, but for seniors. https://dreamonseniorswish.org.
