Giants Head Grind
Christopher Walker Memorial Race
MIRACLES HAPPEN WHEN WE CONQUER THE GIANT
Runners, Walkers, Crawlers and Cyclists are invited to "Conquer the Giant" in May at the Annual Giants Head Grind - Christopher Walker Memorial Race. Proceeds go toward colon cancer detection, diagnostics and research, as well as the upkeep and improvement of the trail system in Giant’s Head Park.
Colon cancer does not rest during a pandemic, and neither will we.
Two Great Options to Participate
In 2021 participants had the months of May and June to complete their race and upload results to our race site. Results and awards were calculated in two separate streams — those that completed the race on-location in Summerland, and those who completed it elsewhere.
