The 2010 Run for Sacred Water was conceived with the intention to ride the positive wave of energy emanating from all the courageous individuals who spoke out to protect Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) and the surrounding watershed at the various public hearings. It will further unite communities and raise the awareness of the necessity for all humanity to protect pristine water sources. Sacred water contained in four hand held vessels will be relayed in on the run beginning on the shores of Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) and ending in the Williams Lake stampede grounds.

Many First Nation communities and local agencies in the Williams Lake area have joined the 2010 Run for Sacred Water by registering for a 10 kilometer section. The registered participants have a two (2) hour time-frame to complete their section, and they each choose whether they run, walk, or ride. The run will occur over a four day period from 28 June 2010 through to 1 July 2010. Each day the relay will cover 50 kilometers with sponsoring community and agencies switching off every 10 kilometers.

The course will be marked in 5 kilometer increments, so it will be clear where the start and end points are. A more detailed description of the course will follow the week prior to the event. Two pilot cars with flashing amber lights will alert vehicles of a race in progress, and a First Aid attendant will be present on each section. The participants and their sponsoring agency are responsible for shuttling the team to and through their section, and generally for taking the comfort and needs of the participants into consideration (e.g. water, food etc).

Please forward your Registration of Participants form in as soon as possible. It can be faxed to 250.394.4275 attention Carolyn.

Will we realize before all fish are killed and our environment is completely polluted that we can't eat money?
