Foothills Advocacy In Motion is hoping for a return to normalcy this year

Fundraising Coordinator Jessica Koch says that would help with their annual half marathon.

"We're of course paying close attention to all of the changes every week and what AHS is saying, we're really hopeful that we'll be able to have some form of an in-person run this year," she says.

It's planned for September 11, 2021.

Registrations for the High River Half run are open now.

Koch says they're also looking forward to expanding.

"We just unfortunately are in a position right now where we don't have the physical space to accommodate more people so we're really excited that at some point later this year we're going to be launching a campaign to raise funds to purchase a new building in Okotoks," Koch says.

FAIM has centres in High River, Okotoks and Strathmore.
