The Great Salmon Run takes place this time each year at Tynehead Regional Park, in hope to promote and raise community awareness in freshwater fish habitat and the natural environment. With the option of an 8K, 5K and even 300M run, everyone is welcome to join this family friendly event.
Race packages.
Each package includes a Great Salmon Run t-shirt, a running bib and other goodies all secured in an insulated thermal lunch bag. How awesome!
I was relief to find that there were still a fair amount of parking stalls left at Tynehead Community hall at 10:30am, although we could always hop on the free shuttle bus service at North Surrey Secondary. The walk was approximately 500m down 96avenue to the event site. With almost one hour to spare the boys went straight to mini golfing and made sure to visit all the activity stations.
The Kids’ Dash and Splash run was about 300 meters. Upon finishing, the boys received a ribbon.
After the race we headed to the hatchery where each child was given a bucket of salmon fry to release into the Serpentine River.
They went back three times, needless to say it was the best part of their day.
We wish the salmon luck on their huge journey.
