Are you and your child ready to be inaugural 'dashers' to kick off this year's Hats Off Day?

This 3 block 'dash' down Hastings Street is presented by the Heights Merchants Association and sponsored by Chevron. All proceeds benefit the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society.

Registered elementary school students must have one parent/sibling over the age of 15 accompany them as a Team. Please indicate which grade the participating student is in. Family Teams are responsible for ensuring each member of their team crosses the finish line.

NOTE: If your child is already participating in the Parade they will not be able to participate in the Family Fun Dash, as there will not be enough time to complete the run before the Parade starts.

Hand your ticket to the Race Official at your line up position(Madison Ave. & Hastings St.), see below, NO LATER THAN 9AM!!. Race Officials will be standing on Hastings Street and wearing a yellow safety vest.

DUE TO REGISTRATION PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:

ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL LINE UP AT MADISON AVE. & HASTINGS ST. WHERE THE DASH STARTLINE FOR ALL AGE GROUPS WILL BE. ALL FAMILY FUN DASH PARITICIPANTS WILL BEGIN THE RACE AT MADISON & HASTINGS AND PROCEED TO THE FINISH LINE AT MACDONALD AVE. & HASTINGS ST.

AGE GROUPS WILL NO LONGER BE STARTING AT DIFFERENT CORALS ALONG HASTINGS. ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL RUN TOGETHER.

Wait until you hear the Bell and see the tape drop at your coral before dashing down Hastings Street towards Macdonald, where a team of Firemen will be at the finish-line to give you a hi-five!

Promptly CLEAR the finish-line area down Hastings street towards Ingleton where volunteers will be handing out finisher's ribbons.
