• Description: Quesnel Women's Fall Challenge (QWFC) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to hold a healthy and positive fitness event for women of all ages and to raise funds for GR Baker Memorial Hospital's Mammography Unit.
  
  This annual wellness event takes place the first Sunday of each October (Cancer Awareness Month) along a scenic rural route that runs, in part, along Dragon Lake. Included in this women's only event is a 5 and 10 km walk and/or run and a 1/2 marathon (21 km).
  
  We are not a registered charity, nor are we part of a provincial or national fund-raising program. Based in Quesnel , our Fall Challenge event is primarily of benefit to women in the Quesnel area. See Goals and Accomplishments for more detailed information.
  
  QWFC now has an average of 550 participants each year (approximately 90 of whom are from out of Quesnel). We have between 55 and 60 volunteers, including 8 core organising committee members.
  
  Each year we solicit and receive cooperation from major sponsors who contribute upwards from $150 either directly or by way of prizes or in-kind donations. All of the funds raised from this event (after expenses) go directly to the Mammography Unit. The amount varies from year to year depending on the number of participants and major sponsors.
