BURNABY - Achilles International Track Society is pleased to announce that TELUS has joined them as once again as sponsor of the Rainforest Trail Run (www.rainforesttrailrun.com) a unique 5K run/walk and 10k run that is being held on September 26, 2019 in Central Park, Burnaby, BC.

The event, which starts (at 9:45 am) and finishes at Swangard Stadium, is being staged on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish people. The run celebrates the health and vibrancy of the Indigenous cultures on whose territory we work, live and play.

Achilles President Dr. Douglas Clement said: “TELUS has been a wonderful and valuable supporter of our outdoor and indoor Harry Jerome track meets over the years, and this sponsorship is an excellent demonstration of their commitment to supporting Indigenous communities, First Nations and healthy lifestyles across Canada.”

Meet Directors, Chris Hancock and Vincent Doyle confirmed that in addition to the 5K run/walk and 10k run through Central Park, there will be a music and dance created by Tsatsu Stalqayu (Coastal Wolf Pack), in Swangard Stadium beginning at 9:45am.  Everyone is invited to participate in the Rainforest Trail Run and can register at www.rainforesttrailrun.com  today.
