The District of Summerland is celebrating the 40th Annual Giant’s Head Run on Saturday, June 1, 2024, trialing a fresh new morning race start time of 9:00 a.m. The race start line and finish line remains in front of the Summerland Aquatic & Fitness Centre (13205 Kelly Avenue). Giant’s Head Run is a feature event during Action Festival Weekend. This popular community run showcases a 5.7 km urban loop and a 10 km run that encircles the picturesque base of Giant’s Head Mountain.
What’s new this year? The 9:00 a.m. run time remains family focused with a Kids Fun Zone at the start/finish area. The Kids Fun Zone will include inflatables from Par-T-Perfect, an obstacle course from SportBall Okanagan, and post-race refreshments. The Kids Fun Zone will be open from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and post-race awards start at 10:30 a.m.
We have updated and increased the number of race categories to give you more of a chance to receive a top 3 medal in your age class. Race ribbons will be given out to all children 7 and under.
Registration is NOW OPEN! Register in person at the Aquatic and Fitness Centre or online at www.runningroom.com.
