The Ladysmith Cinnamon Bun Fun Run will be held virtually for the second year in a row.
The organizers have noted that participants from Parksville, Qualicum, Duncan, Nanaimo, and Chemainus have always turned up in large numbers for the five-kilometre run/walk and 10-kilometre run, presented by the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association. They’re inviting runners and walkers to take part again this year. It will be held on

This year, the virtual charity event aims promote healthy outdoor family activity before the holiday season. It will also provide some much-needed resources to the LRCA and its many non-profit programs. Registration is $10 for adults (13 and over) and $5 for children (12 and under). All proceeds benefit the LRCA.
All participants will receive a limited-edition Cinnamon Bun Fun Run cookie from the Old Town Bakery in Ladysmith.
Participants can choose their own start time and date for the event but must complete the event virtually before Nov. 28. The LRCA will make the traditional run’s route available for anyone who wants to stick with tradition but participants may choose their own route for the walk/run.
“Once you have uploaded your results then you are ready to nab some cinnamon bun cookies,” said Rake.
The results can be uploaded between Nov. 25-28.
