Hundreds of runners and walkers of all ages, abilities, and running experience will be crossing the finish line on March 16th for the 6th Annual LifeMark Esquimalt 5 km and Kids 1 km event. The 2013 race features a new and even more scenic route to accommodate the growing number of race participants. “This is a very scenic route,” said event organizer Melissa Wight. “We’re excited about the changes and I think participants will be as well.”
For registrants and those interested in participating, a warm-up run is scheduled for Sunday, March 10th at 10:30 a.m. to try out the new route with Esquimalt Recreation staff. All levels of runners and walkers are welcome. Meet at the Esquimalt Recreation Centre, located at 527 Fraser Street.
