On Saturday, July 27th, 53 runners and volunteers gathered at Bhagat Puran Singh Park to hold the first practice run in preparation for next year's 'Children's run across Canada'. The participants were divided into three teams and each team ran continuously in a relay around a 250-metre track from 10:30am to 1:00pm. The purpose of the event was for the participants to experience and train themselves for running the three hour shifts, to calculate the speed of the runners, and for the participants to get to know each other. The next meeting is the launch of the project at a Kirtan Darbar to be held at Dixie Gurdwara on August 30th from 6pm to 8pm. All are welcome to come out and find out about the event.
