The Central Okanagan Food Bank’s Hungry Hungry Half Marathon is back for its seventh year.
There is a five, 10, and 21-kilometre route, as well as a 1km kids’ race. All events will be timed and all participants will receive a medal.
Runners will start from the Apple Bowl at 7:15 a.m. and run west along the Rail Trail.
The route will pass through Knox Mountain, Waterfront, Stuart and City parks, as well as along portions of the Abbott Street running and biking trail, finishing at the Apple Bowl around 11:30 a.m.
To accommodate the marathon, the lights at Clement Avenue and Cerise Drive will be flashing red from 7 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. to allow runners to cross.
Intermittent closures will also take place at the intersection of Mountain Avenue and Kelview Street, as well as at the intersection of Ellis Street and Bay Avenue.
Drivers can also expect delays at the crosswalks on Manhattan and Sunset drives and the entrance to Knox Mountain Park. The Apple Bowl running track will be unavailable for public use from 5:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. on June 3 to allow for setup and teardown.
The Hungry Hungry Half Marathon has raised over $47,000 for the Central Okanagan Food Bank over the past seven years.
