Want to get 2020 off on the right foot? The Kajaks Track & Field Club is once again hosting the annual Steveston Icebreaker 8K and New Balance 1K Kidsrun on Jan. 19.

 The Icebreaker 8K is Richmond's first road race of the year, the first race in the Lifestages Lower Mainland Road Runners Series, and the second race of the BC Athletics BC Super Series.
