Fred Bigelow "Virtual" 100K

This is a virtual Memorial Fund Raising event that will take place throughout the month of November and have you completing at least 100 kilometers of the Comox Valley, B.C.

All proceeds will go to Fred's favourite charities of choice: The Cumberland Forest Society and United Riders of Cumberland.

In the inaugural event, held in 2020, we raised $7000.00 during the month of November.

You can run this, or walk this! Hike this or bike this! Ski this, paddle or swim this - whatever gets you covering distance under your own power....Get out there and explore!

The courses will be of your choosing and be anywhere in the Comox Valley: Deep Bay to Oyster River - Mt.Washington to Hornby Island. It is expected that you will choose many different locations for your various workouts. Please take photos!... be proud of what the area has to offer and show it off.

You are asked to join a special CVRR Strava club. When joining be sure to switch your privacy settings to public, this can easily be switched back to private after the event is over. This app is where you will upload each distance you complete along with photos of your route choice. At the end of November we will verify your distance by checking your month total. https://www.strava.com/clubs/750868

You may find yourself easily going over the 100K in the month of November, especially if you are a cyclist. Don't fret... there are special awards for over-achievers! Last time we saw participants surpassing even their own expectations....300K, 400K and more!!

All registered participants who complete the 100 kilometers or more will receive a hand stamped metal mantra shoe tag specially designed for this event. Check out this Merville artist's work.... https://www.facebook.com/MetalMantraJewelry
