FitFirst x New Balance – Trash Dash 2019

Local sportswear store, FitFirst Footwear located at the Fortius Centre on Kensington, is hosting a fun and friendly stewardship competition to give back to the community.

From their event site:
Since opening in 2013, we’ve called Burnaby home and have been overwhelmed with the community of people, beautiful nature and ample running routes. Our community of runners and walkers use the trails, parks and roads everyday and thought- it’s time to give back to The Burn… and why not mix in some exercise while we do it?

Join FitFirst Footwear & New Balance on our first ever Trash Dash and help give back to your local running & walking routes. As the name hints, the Trash Dash mixes running and giving back to our beautiful community by picking up garbage along the way. The trails we run on, the parks we play in, and the community we live in all deserve some love- let’s show that love while running together!

More details will be shared as we get closer to the date, but here are a few things you can bank on:
6:00-6:30 pm: Registration & social
6:30-7:30 pm: TRASH DASH! Runners & walkers of all levels welcome!
7:30-8:00 pm: Trophy ceremony (that’s right, there’s a trophy), prizes and pictures
8:00-9:00 pm: Social with cold beer from our friends at Steamworks, snacks and awesome people

So come on out, bring your friends and do the Trash Dash with FitFirst and New Balance!
