Like so many organizations and events in the qathet region, volunteers are the backbone. For more than a decade runners from near and far took part in the Run the Rock marathon on Texada Island, which took place each August, but not this year.
Back in January, Texada Arts Culture and Tourism (TACT) put out a call looking for someone to help coordinate Run the Rock 2025. It's a big job, but past directors have pulled off coordinating the eight-kilometre, half-marathon and marathon race routes, while managing race participants and volunteers.
TACT stated in a message on social media that, "without a coordinator this event will unfortunately be cancelled. Please help out or forward this to anyone you know that might be interested. There is money available to make this a fantastic memorable event."
The Peak reached out to TACT about the cancellation and received the following reply: "We are hoping to have someone run it next year in 2026; email [email protected] for more information."
