We were overwhelmed with the support and participation in our first few years. All ages, physical abilities, sizes, and stages of fitness, families, friends, siblings, and singles - everyone came out and joined in the fun. And we celebrated! What a success!

I am a 39 year old mom of three wonderful children 17, 9 and 8. Between the kids and working full time I don’t have a lot of “me” time. But when I do, my passion is running and really just doing anything outdoors.

"This year's Kootenay Fun 5 for me is all about finishing, participating and competing. In 2014 I posted my best ever 5k time of 26:30. Then between just falling off the wagon and some nagging injuries, I let the weight creep back on. In 2018 I decided it was time to get on track. I jumped in too fast and did a 5k and aggravated Planters Fascitis, which I didn't know I had, and had to stop running and even walking on a treadmill. Then in September I broke my thumb which prevented me from doing weights. So I could not work out at all. December when everything was healing nicely I took on a spill on my steep driveway and I had a severe concussion from whacking my head and a severely bruised spine. I have just been given clearance to resume working out. So with only 6 weeks to the run, I will participate but my goal is just to get on track, lose 10 pounds before race day and finish. It might be by walking..but finish is the goal and be injury free. Different goals than 2014 but at this stage of my life and with the all the injuries I've battled through, it's more important than ever to get on track and stay there. See you May 11th!"

Hi, I’m Allison-Subaru of Cranbrook’s ambassador for the 2019 Kootenay Fun 5.
As far back as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for health and fitness. Throughout my middle school/high school years I remained active by playing team sports. These days I train 4-5 times a week at fitness Inc. Living an active lifestyle does many things for me; I feel physically fitter, mentally fitter, and I live a life full of awesome adventures as a result of that!
My goal for this years run is to achieve a 30 minute finish time…..and HAVE FUN!
