We are excited to have everyone come to run or walk our beautiful fall event!

You won't want to miss out on this FUN....

One race, Four events!

Run 5K, 10K or Combo and have your kids run the Kids Race

We are excited to welcome you to the beauty and tranquility of the Glenora area including the Trans Canada Trail and the Zanatta Estate Winery (proud to be Vancouver Island's 1st Estate Winery).

This fun 4-in-1 event has become a tradition for many and is a great way to kick off the Halloween season. Lots of folks run in their favorite costumes! There will be prizes for Best Group and Individual costumes. Participants can choose to do the 5K, 10K, or Combo (5K AND 10K), and your little ones will love our kids race!

NEW NEW NEW: Register for any of the running/walking events by September 19th and enter a draw for a bottle of Zanatta wine. The lucky winner will be able to pick it up on Day of Event.
