Sechelt Canada Day Mile
July 1st — 2006-2008
The Sechelt Canada Day Mile was held from 2006 to 2008 to celebrate the holiday and participate in the July 1st festivities. The race started 15 mins before the Canada Day Parade (organized by the Sechelt Downtown Business Association) and went along the main parade route twice, in front of thousands of enthusiastic spectators. Younger kids could choose to run straight down Cowrie Street just once to the finish (500m). Hosted by Sunshine Coast Athletics.
Course Description and Map
Course was accurately measured with a Jones Counter. This was a 'loop and a half' course, designed so you could run past the biggest crowds twice: in the first 500m and again for the last 400m! Starting at 10:45am SHARP from the north end of Cowrie Street (near Sechelt Elementary), follow the parade route straight down Cowrie past the mall and all the shops. Turn left onto Inlet, then left again onto Mermaid. Follow Mermaid to the end, turning left on Ocean, then left again on Cowrie and down Cowrie for the second time to the finish at Inlet.
