2017 Sport Chek Kamloops Marathon Participants

Kamloops— As the province of British Columbia continues to be impacted by wildfires and the air quality index in Kamloops changes daily, organizers have cancelled the 2017 Sport Chek Kamloops Marathon.

“Kamloops, is stretched to the limit supporting families who have been displaced and have sought refuge in our amazing city,” said Charlie Bruce, 2017 Sport Chek Kamloops Marathon race director. “ Resources from the City, TNRD, local Red Cross, First Aid, RCMP and hundreds of volunteers have rallied to ensure that this most extreme situation is handled in a safe, caring and sensitive manner. Given these unprecedented circumstances, this year’s Marathon is cancelled.”

In its sixth year, the marathon was set for Sunday, July 23, 2017.

Typically a fundraiser for bursaries for Thompson Rivers University’s WolfPack athletes, the Boston Marathon qualifier attracts somewhere between 500 and 700 runners.

“It’s disappointing to cancel the race, it’s the last thing we wanted to do, but health and well-being of our runners and volunteers is of the upmost importance,” said Christopher Seguin, TRU VP Advancement. “We’ve already heard that racers coming from o ut-of-town are more concerned with displacing evacuees than they are about running a marathon. People are very supportive and understanding, we hope we’ll see them next year.”

While the race will not go ahead, the traditional pancake breakfast for runners will be offered to evacuees and their support families.

“With the support of our generous sponsors, DoubleTree and Nature’s Fare, we are hosting a free pancake breakfast for wildfire evacuees on Sunday, July 23, from 8 am to 10am at MacArthur Island,” said Dustin McIntyre, TRU Advancement Office Coordinator.

Runners and evacuees can learn more about cancellations and the breakfast at kamloopsmarathon.ca
