Goldstream 5k - Salmon Run... So Should You! - Saturday October 17th, 2020
Around the middle of October each year everybody starts to look for the chum salmon returning to the Goldstream River. They usually don't show up in large numbers until later in October but we kick off the upcoming salmon run by doing a human run! Every year we host a 5km fundraising run on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and all proceeds support the Goldstream Nature House and our salmon programs for kids in the park. This event is for EVERYBODY. Whether you want a leisurely walk through the towering trees of the Goldstream Campground with your family and friends (including your four-legged ones as long as they are on leashes and comfortable around other people and dogs) or you're a racer looking to compete against some of our speedy local runners who participate each year, the Goldstream 5k Salmon Run is for you.
The race is hosted by the Staff and Volunteers from the Goldstream Nature House (RLC Park Services) and Goldstream Park. The race starts at the campground Gatehouse and winds it way throughout the Goldstream Campground. The route is mostly on asphalt roads with just a short section of gravel trail so baby joggers etc are suitable if you are bringing your whole family.
Make sure you stay after the race and share in some home baking and other treats as well as draws for some great prizes.
