Jamie Scott, volunteer run director for the Medicine Hat event, says registration will be between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. near the Kin Coulee Band Shelter for those who sign up online.

“The run is open to anybody who wants to participate as long as they sign up online for the $45 fee. We aren’t able to take donations on site,” Scott said.

“It just makes things run a lot more smoothly that way overall, and by all means bring a pet with you, the only catch there is your pet must be leashed and we’re not going to stop anybody who feels they would rather cycle or roller blade.”

Visit cibcrunforthecure.com to register or donate today.

The group is also looking for a few additional volunteers.
