Beach Run

As Dr. Henry has advised that mass gatherings will not be permitted during the COVID-19 crisis, the 2020 Peachland Beach Run and Canada Day celebrations will be cancelled. Please see below for details about our virtual Beach Run.

PEACHLAND BEACH RUN GOES VIRTUAL

Celebrate Canada Day by pushing your limits with a virtual race. Peachland Recreation has teamed up with the Epic Canadian to offer a fun opportunity to challenge yourself and support great Canadian charities. Connect across communities, across the province, and across the entire country for Canada's 153rd birthday - even if we can't all be in the same space at one time!

The point of this event isn't to gather swag, but to gather together-apart, celebrate the joy of Active Living, make a gift to our charity partners that have supported us through the years, and create an amazing mosaic of July 1st across the country!

Every Participant will be Included in our Massive, Interactive Canadian Flag:

Epic Canadian Living Flag

Participation is simple, enroll to run, jog, or walk 2, 5, or 10 K on Canada Day or sometime the week before, dress in your most festive Canada-themed attire, and submit your photo and completion time to Epic Canadian's website. best of all, you can participate from wherever you want! Simply select a trail, road, or track and complete your desired distance.

Registration

Participation is free, but enrollees are encouraged to donate to one of the event's charity recipients. Funds raised by participants of the Peachland Beach Run will go to support the Peachland Food Bank. To confirm your participation as a Beach Run athlete, select "Peachland Beach Run" during registration when asked if you were directed from a different Canada Day run.

Option - Peachland Beach Run

Any participants who run as part of the Peachland Beach Run will be entered into a prize draw for free entry into the next Beach Run.

Happy Canada Day and happy running!
