The CVRR iscommitted to aiding in the support of
local organizations. The club allots a portion of
the proceeds from the Comox Valley Half
Marathon each year to a worthy cause. CVRR
also contributes annually to the local food bank
through the Jingle Bell Run.
CVRR encourages young runners through an
annual KIDS RUN 4 FUN clinic in early spring,
organizing a kids’running race during the Comox
Valley Exhibition, and providing a scholarship for
local young runners annually.
Social Events: The social committee
organizes various runs and get together
throughout the year such as the Valentine’s
Day Hearts and Flowers; End of the year
Bikini Blast off; New Year’s Day Mile; and
