Tri-City students in Grade 4 and 5 are busy training for the 37th annual Como Lake Relays, which will take place in Coquitlam later this month.
More than 2,000 students are expected to participate in the run, which promotes running activities and physical fitness.
This year, because of the larger number of people expected to turnout, the race will be held over two days (April 15 and April 16) between approximately 3 and 5 p.m. rain or shine.
Students will be organized into teams of four, with each member running 1.2 km around the lake.
The Como Lake Relay Committee would like to remind walkers and runners that the trails will be very crowded. Residents are welcome to attend and cheer on the student athletes.
