The Silver City Days Fun Run hits the pavement on Sunday with some added incentive for early registrants.

Last year’s run saw close to 270 participants take to the pavement in Sunningdale. The run starts in Gyro Park follows the river, circles Sunningdale and returns along the sidewalk. Entrants in the 5K will finish at Gyro, while the 10K competitors head towards East Trail, and eventually a loop of downtown Trail before heading back to the finish at Gyro.
The event is open to everyone from elite runners to walkers.
Prizes will be awarded to the top place finishers in each group and random draws will award lucky participants at the awards presentation where refreshments are provided by local businesses.
The entry fee is $5 for a walker and $10 to run. To register early contact Gerick Cycle and Sports at 364-1661or download entry form at www.trailtrackclub.ca or email dhoran@telus.net.
