5th Annual Bayshore Race

Supporting miracles at the Owen Sound Regional Hospital

On August 24, 2014, hundreds of walkers, runners, spectators and volunteers will gather at the Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound, Ontario to participate in the 5th annual Bayshore Race.

While runners and power walkers are challenged in timed ½ Marathon, 10k and 5k road races, the 5k Fun Walk enables almost anyone to participate. The 1k Kids’ Run makes the Bayshore Race an unforgettable, family-oriented event. The Bayshore Community Centre serves as a great venue, with its beach, playground and plenty of free parking. Offering spectacular views of Georgian Bay, our race course is one of the most scenic in Ontario!

Race proceeds will support improvements to cancer and heartcare at the Owen Sound Regional Hospital. Runners and walkers are encouraged to collect pledges in support of the project. Our goal is to raise $40,000 towards our $8.6 million goal.

Free technical tee to the first 400 entrants registered for the 5k, 10k and 1/2M race and powerwalk events. See the race website for complete details.

Enter our Team Challenge

New this year at the Bayshore Race is our Team Challenge – Sign up for the Race and start (or join) a team of up to 20 family, friends, or co-workers. Collect pledges in support of you and your team. It’s easy to do when you create a fundraising page as you register. All proceeds support the purchase of diagnostic and medical equipment for cancer and heart care for residents of Grey Bruce.

Two teams – one from GBHS Hospitals and one from the community with the highest average amount raised per runner or walker will win great team prizes. We’ll also have a "Spirit Award" for the team with the best costumes/cheering/attitude. Great fun…great support for our regional hospital…great bonding time with family, friends or fellow employees.
