Salmon showcase set for Tynehead Park

Those interested in the Great Salmon Run are invited to take to the trails and paths of the park on Saturday, March 12.

A run to showcase Tynehead Regional Park and local salmon stewards is set for Saturday, May 12.

Those interested in the Great Salmon Run are invited to take to the trails and paths of the park in an event hoped to highlight its natural habitat for salmon and trout.

Participants can choose between a challenging eight kilometre route and a family friendly five kilometres, both of which are sanctioned by BC Athletics; there's also a high-energy, 300-m Kids' Dash n' Splash run for those aged 12 and younger. In the latter, participants will get to release salmon fry into the Serpentine River ecosystem.

 

Live entertainment and activities hosted by local volunteer organizations will also be featured, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and includes a post-race barbecue hosted by and in support of the Serpentine Enhancement Society volunteers that manage the Tynehead Hatchery facility on-site.

Online registration closes Tuesday, May 8. For more information, visit www.surrey.ca/greatsalmonrun
