A free Clover Point 5K every Saturday at 9am? Sign us up! It's called ParkRun, and it actually happens at roughly the same time, every Saturday, all over the world (including Shawnigan Lake and Courtenay). Sean Mitchell and Natalia Seal join the show from the ParkRun team to share the ins and outs of this cool event and the inclusive community of runners it has created. You only have to register once to get your unique barcode and can then take part in ParkRuns wherever your travels take you! Find them online at https://www.parkrun.ca/cloverpoint/ and on Instagram at @cloverpointparkrun.
