If you happen to still be sleeping at 8:45 a.m. this Sunday in Esquimalt, donB次元官网网址檛 be alarmed if you hear a big gun going off at that time.
Instead of the traditional starting pistol, a C3 Howitzer gun will be fired once to start CFB EsquimaltB次元官网网址檚 annual Navy Run, which this year falls on FatherB次元官网网址檚 Day (June 18).
The annual family oriented event, overseen by the Department of National Defence and Royal Canadian Navy includes 10-kilometre and 5K distances, as well as a kidB次元官网网址檚 run starting at 8 a.m. The longer routes take runners through the Township of EsquimaltB次元官网网址檚 residential streets, starting and ending just inside the security gates on Admirals Road leading to Naden.
The awards ceremony, officiated over by CFB Esquimalt leadership, happens at 11 a.m. For more information on the routes or to sign up, visit navyrunesquimalt.com.
