Take part in this urban challenge

Vancouver, August 28

Part scavenger hunt, part a game of dare, the Mitsubishi Motors CityChase promises a day of fun. As part of a team, you get points by finding clues and accomplishing challenges, such as a fitness test, obstacle course, complete firefighter tasks, do some carpentry at Home Depot, which were part of last year’s City Chase.  

Run a marathon

Quebec City, August 29

The Quebec City Marathon is happening this weekend. But for those not up for the long race, there is also a half-marathon, 10-K race, a kids race and even a pledge-fundraising race for the Association québécoise de la dysphasie, Capitale-Nationale.
