CUC Hosts Lacombe's Annual Trail Run

Canadian University College recently hosted our community's 4th annual trail run known as Lacombe in Motion. Held this year on Sunday, September 30, the event offered more than 330 participants the opportunity to run along Lacombe's beautiful trail system in 21K, 10K, 5K and 2K races.  With over 330 participants, Lacombe in Motion is the largest wellness event in Lacombe.  Please click here for a map of this year's 10K run.

"Lacombe in Motion is a community event intended to promote health and fitness for participants from Lacombe and the surrounding areas in Central Alberta, " explained Dr. Klaus Irrgang, associate professor of wellness and one of the event's organizers.  Assisting Dr. Irrgang in presenting this event were more than 100 volunteers, more than half of them CUC students, faculty or staff.

Laurece Prendergast, Joy Launio, Jason Hunter, and Michael Jakovac are just four of several CUC students who volunteered their time to operate this year's Lacombe in Motion.

This year's Lacombe in Motion raised around $3000.  The money raised each year is used to maintain and expand the trail system and develop exercise stations at strategic trail locations.
