Paradise and Mount Pearl runners will be hitting the trail come Remembrance Day in honour of veterans.
On November 11, the Paradise Running Club and Stride Running NL will host the Run to Remember to honour and mark the sacrifice of those who have fallen in service of their country; and to acknowledge the courage of those who still serve.
The 11km trail run will begin with a few words from the Royal Canadian Legion, a three-person flag party from 807 Mount Pearl Air Cadet Squadron, and a moment of silence.
“This event is the running community’s way to pay tribute to the men and women serving in Canada’s armed forces who sacrifice so much on our behalf,” said Carrie Hyde, president of the Paradise Running Club. “It’s because of their selfless service that we’re free to run in our communities and enjoy peaceful lives.
The run will begin at 8:00 a.m. at the west side of the trailway access at Commonwealth Avenue. For more information, visit paradiserunningclub.com or striderunningnl.ca.
