Chocolate Chase runners hit the trail for tasty treat, great cause

It was a perfect Sunday morning to go for a run in Red Deer, and many did just that to support a great cause and earn a tasty reward in the process.

Hundreds gathered at Bernard Callebaut at Village Mall for the fourth annual Chocolate Chase.

Participants hit the trail for the 3, 5 and 10K fun run to raise funds for the Access For All Barrier-Free Playscape, a joint project of the Rotary clubs of Red Deer, The City of Red Deer and Mattie McCullough Elementary.

Construction of the first phase of the project took place over the weekend.
