Nanaimo Bar and Coffee - Ummmm

Nanaimo Bar and Coffee – Ummmm

Denise is so patient. Even with an old injured runner like myself. Meet new and old friends for a run or run walk then chill over coffee and the best Nanaimo bar in town – Susanne, Nanaimo

 

This is how it works:

Where:

    • Starting in downtown Nanaimo

When:

    • Contact me and we’ll arrange a time – rain or shine – dress accordingly

Who:

    • Runners or walkers, join in on your own, with a friend, with family, with a well-behaved dog, or with a kid in a stroller.

Cost:

    • $15 per person (kids in strollers and dogs free) (please register and pay in advance)

What:

    • Guided run/walk, tour, Nanaimo Bar and a beverage, e.g. coffee or tea

Details:

    • If there are more runners than walkers, we’ll run. If there are more walkers than runners, we’ll walk.

We really enjoyed the run. It was a great way to get a workout in, learn about some local history and get to experience a Nanaimo Bar. We thought the meeting place was convenient, the cost was very reasonable and the distance was appropriate – Joseph and Katie, Seattle
