MIRACLES HAPPEN WHEN WE CONQUER THE GIANT

Runners, walkers, crawlers and cyclists are invited to "Conquer the Giant" during the months of May and June 2021 at the 8th Annual Giants Head Grind, with proceeds going toward colon cancer detection, diagnostics and research, along with the upkeep and improvement of the trail system in Giant's Head Park.

Like everything else these days, this year's race will look a little different.

For 2021, racers will have two virtual options to Conquer the Giant. You can either complete the actual race route on-location in Summerland, British Columbia, or complete a virtual 10km from any location you happen to be. And you'll have between May 1st to June 30, 2021 to complete your race and upload results to the site. Results and awards will be calculated in two separate streams; those that complete the race route on-location, and those who complete it elsewhere.

6026abfde369a.pngFor those who wish to join us in Summerland, The Summerland Waterfront Resort and Spa will be offering a special race rate for the entire period May 1 – June 30, 2021! Details will be made available after you register.

The event is spearheaded by Ellen and Tom Matthews together with The Rotary Club of Summerland and a committed group of local Summerland residents and sponsors.

Colon cancer does not rest during a pandemic, and neither will we.
