A Chilliwack society has donated thousands of dollars to two local teens and five groups following an annual trail race that takes place every fall.
The Around the Lake Give ‘R Take 30 Trail Race Society recently handed out $11,000.
In addition to two $1,000 awards to two local high school students, the society also donated money to the following:
Chilliwack Park Society: $3,000
Fraser Valley Mountain Biking Association (silver/trail sponsorship): $3,000
Vedder Mountain Motorcycle Club: $1,000
Chilliwack Outdoor Club: $1,000
Chilliwack Search and Rescue: $1,000
The society organizes an annual Around the Lake Give ‘R Take 30 Trail Race in October that sees runners traverse approximately 30 kilometres around Cultus Lake, and attracts more than 300 participants. There are two events over the 30 kilometre route during race day: a solo run and a two-person relay event.
Proceeds from registrations and sponsorships are generated each year and enable the not-for-profit trail race society to provide donations to local groups.
The 2023 race – which will be the 20th edition of the local trail race – will be held Saturday, October 14, starting and finishing at Main Beach at Cultus Lake.
