3. Any one, anywhere. You! Yes, even you.
This is non competitive so it’s perfect for
those of you who have a race on your
bucket list or those hard core racers who
just love to run.

4.  Well –it’s a race-you know that already, right?
 It’s non-competitive- go at your own pace,
walk, run, crawl
 It’s Chip-timed. Although non-competitive, it’s
great to have a sense of where you are at so
you can move forward from there-i.e hmm, ok
I know my next race will be faster or yuck-I’m
never racing again.

6. Well we think physical activity is important
And we certainly think eating is important
Which is why we devised this fundraiser to help the
Hantsport and Area Food bank.
Not everyone has food to eat on a regular basis.
I’ll bet someone YOU know does not have enough food
to eat on a regular basis-although it may not seem
evident to you .
$5 from every registration goes to our food bank plus we
are reimbursing the food bank ~ their volunteers are
providing breakfast on race day.

7. In March 2013
• 21,760 Nova Scotians were
assisted by food banks.
• Meal programs and soup kitchens
collectively served 154,330 meals
and 18,724 snacks during the same
month
• It’s no longer only the homeless
and those on Social Assistance that
need our help- it’s the working
poor.
