Lower Mainland walkers and runners, get ready for another fun race! On July 12, Rocky Mountain Soap Company is hosting a 5km and 10km run/walk at Burnaby Lake Regional Park. Rocky Mountain Soap Company is Canada’s leader in 100% natural bath and body products, helping to promote a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. 

The Rocky Mountain Soap Women’s Run & Walk initially began in Canmore, Alberta in order to create safe, fun, and inclusive events for women that inspire the pursuit of an active, healthy, and environmentally responsible lifestyle. The Run & Walk additionally supports charitable organizations both culturally and financially.

Well-being stations along the course, a healthy post-race reception, a non-competitive atmosphere plus $50 worth of fabulous Rocky Mountain Soap Company products will make this event an unforgettable experience for women of all ages and fitness levels.

Last day to register for the Vancouver event is June 26. The Canmore, Alberta event is long sold out, so if you’re in the Lower Mainland (or perhaps visiting BC on holiday), consider an afternoon at Burnaby Lake for a good cause!

All proceeds benefit Rethink Breast Cancer, a vital organization that helps to pioneer cutting-edge breast cancer prevention, education, support and advocacy. Those interested in event fundraising with the Rethink Breast Cancer organization can register to become a RMS Champion for Change.
