Run / walk for Abi!
Our friends over at the Elk Valley Dolphins Swim Club are hosting their 6th Annual Turkey Trot Run in October. This year, all donations will be going towards an organization that is very special to one of our beloved nordic members, Abi Moore, who passed suddenly this past year. Abi was an avid runner & loved a good “trot”, especially in costume. Please consider grabbing your loved ones, especially your dog & partake in the beautiful Montane 11 km loop during arguably one of Fernie’s most colourful times of the year.
Join the Elk Valley Dolphin Swim Club in their 6th Annual Turkey Trot Run held Saturday, October 12th on the Montane Blue Trail in Fernie, BC.
Start: anytime from 8 am to 1 pm at the Montane Trailhead
There will be volunteers on site to take your name and donation and record your start and finish time. Start when you want – no pressure – this is a FUN RUN!
Route: The Montane Blue route will be flagged – – Run, Jog, Walk
Dogs welcome: please have them on leash or under control
Prizes: Turkeys of course! Donated by INDEPENDENT Grocers and gift card donated by the Fernie Taphouse

This year the fun run fee is ‘enter by donation’. The EVDSC has chosen to support a cause that was dear to the heart of Abi Moore, a member of our Masters swim program. Her life was tragically taken in a car accident this year. Abi’s husband Michael Moore will be running in the 2024 TCS London Marathon and to honour his wife he will be raising money to help fight Alzheimer’s Research UK, an organization Abi joined in 2023.
We ask that you send donations either to payment@evdsc.com and the EVDSC will send in all donations collected (make a note “Turkey Trot” in the description). Cash donations may be made at the event or directly to Michael Moore’s fundraising site at https://www.justgiving.com/…/michael-moore…
This is a community event hosted by the Elk Valley Dolphin Swim Club. Thank you for supporting our over 200 athletes; we value the opportunity for our athletes give back to the community!
