What does Family Registration mean? A family consists of 2 adults and up to 2 children living at the same address. Please note, only 2 water bottles will be given per Family Registration.

Can some of my family do the walk and some run? Sure – as long as you have told us in advance, you are welcome to participate in the same event or whichever is of interest to each of you.

Where can I drop off my registration & fees, before the event? You can drop off your registration at the Real Canadian Superstore, Upper Level, St.Thomas or No Frills, Aylmer on Saturday, February 15th, 9 a.m. to noon. There will be a goody bag pick up night, Thursday, March 13th, 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Central United Church and you can pre-register then as well.

There is also a raffle being held for a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey autographed by Darryl Sittler. See the website for details, www.TheShamrockShuffle.ca.

Can I take my child in a stroller or wagon? Sure!

Can I bring my dog? Dogs are welcome on the route as long as they are on a leash and are well-behaved. Please note that dogs are not allowed in the church.

Is this race timed? No, it is strictly a fun event to get the people of our community together to raise money for a great organization. Feel free to walk or run this in a manner that works for you and your training.

Will the course be closed to traffic? The route will not be closed to traffic. Participants are asked to stay on the sidewalks and obey the rules of the road.

What if the weather is bad the morning of the event? The event goes no matter the weather. The gym will remain open through the event if you wish to stay indoors.

How long would it take me to walk 2 km or 5 km or run 5 km? While the time will vary for each person, a 2 km walk or 5 km run would typically take about 30 to 40 minutes. A 5 km walk would take about an hour. More experienced walkers and runners could take less time.
