Over 120 runners and walkers participated in the Silver City Days Fun Run on a beautiful sunny Sunday.
While numbers were down from previous years, the SCD Fun Run was a successful event for all participants.
“It was a beautiful day, and we had comments about how much fun everyone had,” said organizer Lina Horan.
Last year, the Fun Run saw over 200 athletes participate and more than 300 in 2017, but those numbers were buffered substantially by Teck’s Health and Wellness program, which was absent from this year’s event.

The Fun Run is organized by Gerald Klassen, employees of Gerick Cycle and Sports, and Dan and Lina Horan from the Trail Track and Field Club, in addition to the many volunteers and additional sponsors that help make the event a yearly success.
