Registration is still open for the 16-kilometre race, which winds its way up beside the Capilano River before finishing with the famous Grouse Grind. The race, which is broken into four stages, can be completed either individually or as a relay team.
The race will begin at Ambleside at 8: 15 a.m. with an award ceremony planned for approximately 11: 30 a.m. on the top of Grouse Mountain.
Over the past six years, pledges taken by racers raised more than $200,000 for Rethink Breast Cancer, according to a Grouse Mountain Resorts press release. Registration is open until Friday and can be completed online at www. grousemountain.com/ events/seek-the-peak-relay.
