Run to Remember honors the passed and celebrates life

 

The City of Lethbridge will be hosting the second annual Run to Remember, an event created to honour the memories of those we have lost, celebrate life, and promote community health.

The event will take place on Saturday, October 5th, since 10:00 a.m. at Mountain View Cemetery, and is open to all members of the community.

Ashley Walker, Parks Community Coordinator, says participants can choose between a 2.5K or 5K walk/run. She explains the idea behind hosting such an event in a cemetery.

Last year, the event brought in around 150 people, while this year the expectation is for 200 participants
