Due to the recent coronavirus outbreak, and following recommendations by BC Health Officials about social distancing, Harriers Tuesday Night Workouts and Thetis Lake Saturday Morning trail runs will be SUSPENDED until they are safe to resume again.  We will send a message to all club members when the group gathering cancellation is lifted by Health authorities.  It doesn't mean that you should stop running solo as health and running experts claim that an outdoor, active lifestyle will boost your immune system and help fight the disease if you come in contact with someone who is affected.  Be safe, protect your family, run often, stay positive, and we will be back together again when this terrible disease subsides.  It is a serious worldwide concern.

Group sessions SUSPENDED until further notice – you're still welcome to run and explore the trails on your own

8 am Saturdays – Starting on Saturday, October 5, our meeting place is at the main parking lot of Thetis Lake Park at the end of Six Mile Road for the 7 cooler fall and winter months.  We gather every Saturday throughout the year, meeting at 8:00 am, for one hour group runs with a social coffee or breakfast following the run at The Nest Cafe.

This is the classic Prairie Inn Harriers weekly social run with groups ranging from slow to moderate to fast. All runners, dogs and walkers are welcome.  You don't have to be a club member to join in as there is no fee to participate.  If you are unfamiliar with the park trails and want to learn them, Group Leaders are available for all paces.  No one gets lost or left behind.
