Fun Times on the Yellowknife Ski Club Trails 2019

 
July 28, 2019 – Join the Yellowknife Multisport Club and Yellowknife True North Rotary Club at the Yellowknife Ski Club for the 3rd of 6 organized 5-6km fun runs/walks this season.

 
Complete 3 or more of these fun run/walks and you will complete the challenge thereby receiving a Glorious Medal and the adoration of all your friends and family who lack this experience and medal!

 
This run/walk is approximately 5k. We cannot guarantee that there will be no mud in the course. The route is designed to minimize mud exposure time. So…be prepared for a bit of mud.

 
This is a fun run/walk. It is not a race. This may be your first time on the Ski Club trails so feel free to walk the trail with no pressure to be fast.

 
There are no gender categories or prizes for first place, the only requirement is that you come out and have a good time. Race hard and get your best 5K time if you want, walk with your friends or family and have a nice day out celebrating our city and being active.
