The Dauphin Rotary Club hosts a total of four events throughout the year that combine active living with raising funds for local projects.
"There is the snowshoe run, the Epic East Gate - which is a trail run, the half marathon - which is more of a road run, and then the Moose Knuckles Adventure race - which is mountain biking, paddling, orienteering, hiking through the bush and getting lost," says Dauphin Rotary member Kevin Steinbachs.
He adds the idea for these runs was born from the Manitoba Mud Run, which the Dauphin Rotary held for a number of years.
"It was one of those things where you are always looking for a fundraiser, but it is kind of like "Why not have a FUN fundraiser". We started it because a group of us had become active and noticed that those mud runs are ones that you have people that normally did not do anything close to that now out and about and doing things. And you can see over the 10 years that we did it, people that got motivated and got in shape and stuff, based on that being their starting jump type things."
