Oceanside Cross Country Race

Hi -Below is the information about the Oceanside Cross Country Race Sun. Feb. 5th. I have also included it as an attachment. It is a very low key, fun event. The registration is day of race only at 12 noon in the parking lot behind the Ravensong Aquatic Centre in Qualicum Beach. Hopefully, this local race will be well attended by our mid island runners. It is open to those as young as grade three and includes a new Elders category for those born in 1940 or older. There are also 10 categories for children, Open, Premasters, Masters and Veterans (over 50) categories.Come on out and enjoy our Civic Centre trails!

Thanks,Laurie
