When we began hosting a 5K "Run for the Retina" event to raise funds for the ARF three years ago, we had no idea how popular this event would become. This year, we are gearing up for our best run yet, to be held in Vancouver during the ASRS Annual Meeting, on the scenic Coal Harbour Seawall, August 29 at 6am.

In order to make the most of this opportunity, our run will be directed by several experts who will lead participants along picturesque, paths along the coast that are especially favored by runners.

As with previous runs, we'll have commemorative t-shirts, bottled water and refreshments available for everyone who participates. The run will be timed and there will be awards for the top three finishers in both the men's and women's categories.
