Westin Bear Mountain, Victoria, BC
Annual Race Drives Hotel Deal for Participants and Their Supporters
The 2nd annual 10 Kilometre race is a hit for those fit and ambitious runners and includes a kids component for those in training.
The Second Annual Bear Mountain 10-kilometre race will be unfolding on Sunday November 18, 2007. In conjunction with the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort Properties, rooms are being offered at a discounted $99.00 CDN per night for single or double occupancy. This is all the more reason to get out your runners and start pounding the pavement!
The deal also includes a buffet the evening before for an additional $18.00 CDN per person. I hear it’s filled with the carbs needed for the morning race and has lots of nutritious goodies. Call (250) 391-7160 to make a reservation and quote “BM 10K”.
The Second Annual Bear Mountain 10-K Race
Starting at Bear Mountain Village, participants run along the Jack Nicklaus co-designed golf course paths. For an entry fee of $35.00 CDN ($40.00 after November 11), runners are competing for $1,500 in prize money and the use of the Mountain Athletic Club’s facilities.
The Bear Cub Kids Run
This one is for children who also want to join mom and dad in the fun. The path, also along the golf course, is one mile long and ends at the same finishing line as the adult race. For $25.00 CDN, families get childminding from 8:30am until 10:00 am (the race start time). Hopefuls also get a finisher’s medal for their participation and a $5.00 donation is made on their behalf to The Shoes for Youth Program organised by Runners of Compassion.
