DELTA — The Burns Bog Conservation Society has a day full of running and fun planned for Sunday.
Jog for the Bog kicks the event off in the morning while the society will begin festivities to mark International Bog Day as the runners come in.
"It's a celebration of bogs around the world," explains Burns Bog Conservation Society special events co-ordinator Sisi Zhou.
There will be a pancake breakfast (free for run participants, $5 for non-runners), live music performances, demonstrations and vendors.
Multi-instrumentalist Enoch Weng will perform in the morning as runners get ready, singer Jessica Zraly, who has appeared on the TV show Canada's Got Talent, will perform in the afternoon and Delta band Circle of Friends will play some tunes to end the day off, Zhou notes.
There will be yoga demonstrations, information booths from conservation groups and local businesses and a gymnastics tumbling track is expected as well, she adds.
The popular family event helps raise awareness about Burns Bog, she explains.
There are 5-km walk/run ($45) and 10-km run ($50) options for Jog for the Bog. Registration begins at 7 a.m. Activities take place at 10388 Nordel Court (Planet Ice parking lot) and run until 3 p.m. For more details visit www.burnsbog. org/events.
