Run to Beer Comox Valley

We're giving Cumberland a break for our Social Saturday this weekend and doubling down on Strathcona Park for our Summer Wrap-Up! ⛰️

If you are not ready to summit Albert Edward, we'll have a group doing the Helen MacKenzie / Battleship Lakes loop as a hike (all the hills) and some easy jogging along the way.

It's about 8.5k / 160 M of elevation gain - totally doable!

We hope to see you there! 8:00 at the Raven Lodge on Saturday, Aug 19.

One mile, four beers, zero regrets... okay, maybe a few. 🤮

Huge thanks to all 20 of you for bringing the heat! Special shoutout to our visitors from Colorado and Cali for proving you can chug and run anywhere 🏃‍♀️💨

Here are a few amateur pics to hold you over, more to come from Rob soon!

And a thank-you to our Ambassadors who organized everything, fed us, timed the event, music, made the trophy, got prizes, etc.! 🙏

Start training for that winter mile!

Saturday morning base building. If you're looking for a steady Z1/Z2 effort to rack up some training miles, join us. Our long run starts at 7:30 AM. See the weekly Facebook event post for details.

Fill your Saturday morning with good vibes and easy miles. Meet us at Cumberland Village Park for our weekly Social Run. 10:00 AM sharp, 40ish minutes, followed by local coffee.

Honestly, the best way to break up the week is a casual 5k or 10k around town with a pint waiting at the end. Meet us at Point Holmes Beach tomorrow at 7:15 PM.

Saturday mornings are for spending time with friends on the trails!

As usual, we have 2 groups this weekend:

👊 Saturday Social 10am start @ Village Park. This is a social pace, walk the hills, jog the flats kinda run for about 60 minutes. Coffee to follow.

👊 Rise & Grind 8am start this week @ Village Park. There is lots of tapering right now, so it's going to be an easy but steady cruise of the DL 15k course. If you need a little more, jump into the 10am run (above)!

Whether you run with us or do your own thing, we hope you get out somewhere this weekend!
