Cinnamon Bun Fun Run - About the Organizers
The Cinnamon Bun Fun Run is presented each year by the Ladysmith Striders.
In 2004, the Ladysmith Striders decided to give back to the community and thought that organizing a charity walk/run to immediately follow Ladysmith's Annual Festival of Lights would both provide the healthy outdoor family event just before the holiday season and some needed resources to the Ladysmith Food Bank. And in order to foster family participation, the Ladysmith Striders made the event a fun run exercise by adopting a event timing strategy that involved "predicted finishing time" for participants walking or running a five kilometer course, or running a ten kilometer course. To reward the exhausted finishers, participants were offered hot chocolate and sweet and gooey cinnamon buns - hence the name Cinnamon Bun Fun Run. The Cinnamon Bun Fun Run is scheduled to take place the beginning of December and is presented in all weather conditions.
The Ladysmith Striders is a organization of casual runners and walkers who are committed to promoting fitness and recreation in a friendly club environment. All levels of runners and walkers are welcome! Our running/walking group is located in the beautiful town of Ladysmith and include the surrounding areas of Saltair and Cedar for regular exploration. Ladysmith is known for its hills... and the Ladysmith Striders are known as "The Hill Tamers".
