After our garden class we walked over to the offices of the Vancouver International Marathon Society to volunteer our time putting together some race packages for their Fall Classic Run (21.1km, 10km and 5km) at UBC on November 13th. The Marathon Society is a huge sponsor and supporter of our marathon program so we are happy to give back in any way we can.
While some were outside doing some gardening in our monthly garden class others were inside making smoothies with some ingredients from the garden.
We know a marathon is close when we have a number of current and past Streetfront students running the almost 19 km route to Deep Cove, North Vancouver. Plans are afoot for this years Seattle Marathon on November 27th, 2016!
