Are you feeling lucky? Join me as I celebrate the first day of spring (and my birthday) in style at the Couve Clover Run which supports a variety of local charities. Each registrant can pick a cause that they feel passionate about and join a team to support. If a charity team gets 50 or more members, $5 from each person’s registration will go to that charity. It’s an easy and fun way to raise money for an important cause.
Registration also includes a tech race shirt, chip timed event, finisher’s medal, costume contest with prizes, post race party and music with a festive entertainment for the whole family, treats including warm soup and hot drinks, green cupcakes, savory treats, as well as green beer provided by Deschutes Brewery.
Course description for the 3 miles, Lucky 7 miles and 10 mile courses are promising to take you through some of the most scenic areas of Vancouver, highlighting the wonderful community (including historic Officer’s Row, Fort Vancouver, the Columbian Riverfront, Ester Short Park, Farmers Market and more). The course is mostly flat with a couple short hills. The courses will have a couple key areas where it will be vital for runners and walkers to pay attention to volunteers, signage, flashing lights and an otherwise well marked course when distances split off from the main event.
