At the time there were no Ultra-Marathons in the interior of BC and the WITP served primarily a tight-knit group of runners.

NUTRITION TIPS FROM AMANDA: PROTEIN SUPPORTS REPAIR
Running (or any exercise) breaks your body down. Protein helps rebuild it stronger. Without enough protein, recovery slows and injury risk can increase over time.
Simple place to start: Include a protein source at every meal and snack (eggs, yogurt, meat, tofu, beans, etc.), aiming for consistency across the day. Aim to consume at least 20g of protein within an hour after exercise, up to 40g for older athletes or longer runs.
Each Sunday leading up to Walk in the Park, Amanda will be sharing nutrition tips for runners!
We want you ready for Kamloops favorite trail race on September 6! Only 2 weeks away!
Let us know how your training is going! We want to hear from YOU!
THE GOAT HAS ONE JOB...
To get the party going at the Starting Line!
Your job is to:

Register now before you're the one wishing you'd been there. Registration closes Sep 4 - don't wait!

COURSE PREVIEW: COMPLETE!
On Sunday we spent the morning running and hiking sections of the Walk in the Park routes and were joined by some of our awesome RUNClub friends along the way!
There were trails, climbs, plenty of laughs and, of course, some tasty ice-cold electrolyte freezies from our friends at Vallen Canada waiting at the finish. 🙌
We are now less than TWO WEEKS away from the 33rd Annual Walk in the Park!
The trails are waiting. The finish-line party is getting closer. And we can’t wait to see every one of you cross that finish line on September 6!

Long runs are your dress rehearsal for race day. Waiting until the event to figure out your nutrition plan can lead to avoidable struggles. Test timing, types, and amounts of fuel during your longer runs so you know what works for your body.
Simple place to start: Nothing new on race day! Plan your pre-race meal, hydration, and fueling strategy ahead of time using foods and timing you’ve already tested.
