TRAINING RACE & NEWS CONFERENCE JUNE 28 8:00 AM
\n<\/strong> \"\"<\/a>
\nThis summer (July 17-21), as a charitable fundraising event, Hot Pursuit 2010 will take ultra-marathon cyclist Arvid Loewen from White Rock, BC, to Winnipeg, MB, in under five days. He will be chased by pursuit relay teams leaving White Rock only 24 hours behind him. Four members of the Winnipeg Police Service and five professors and alumni from Canadian Mennonite University will race after him in the ultimate HOT PURSUIT. Along the way, a team of four \u201cgrannies\u201d relaying from Calgary to Winnipeg will join the competition, with Arvid and the grannies are all riding in support of Mully Children\u2019s Family (MCF). The Winnipeg Police riders are raising funds for Children\u2019s Wish Foundation; and the Canadian Mennonite University team is raising funds to help bring international students to CMU.
\nTogether, they make up HOT PURSUIT 2010.<\/p>\n
