Giants Head Grind

Christopher Walker Memorial Race

This is it! Registration closes today… Mon, May 11.

And, we’ve hit our goal of 300 Racers!

Everyone who has taken the time to register, promote, tweet and Facebook the Giants Head Grind – Christopher Walker Memorial Race has played a huge role in getting us to our goal of 300 Racers. Last year, being the beginner race organizers that we were, that was our capacity. However, with a year under our belt, we’re allowing a few of you late-bloomers to register until Monday, May 11th. But that’s it!

Don’t wait.

For all of you who haven’t registered and keep meaning to, or are yet undecided… this is your last chance! Join a team, race as an individual… or just come for the BBQ. Whatever the case, do not miss out on being part of this very worthwhile and exceptionally fun event.

Click the “Get Involved” button NOW!

More costumes this year please!

You have a choice:

  1. You can do the Giants Head Grind in your work out wear, your hiking gear or your street clothes. Lots of people will do just that and have lots of fun. Or…
  2. You can do the Giants Head Grind in a costume and win PRIZES! 

Here are two of our favourites from last year’s race to get your ideas flowing for this year:

Individual and team costumes are encouraged, and we even have prizes for the best dressed 4-legged friend!
