Saturday September 19, 2015 9:00 a.m. St. Clements Community Centre, St. Clements, ON
The 2nd annual Harvest Half (and Quarter) Marathon!
When Wesley Korir trains in Canada, he does so on the rural gravel roads of Wellesley Township.
Korir, 2012 Boston Marathon Champion and current Member of Parliament in Kenya, has founded the Kenyan Kids Foundation of Canada to support various initiatives in Cherangany, Kenya. This race (and pre-race pasta dinner) will serve as a fantastic racing experience, a fundraising opportunity for the KKFC, and a great opportunity to explore the great community of Wellesley Township.

Participants are asked to familiarize themselves with the course route if this situation might be a possibility to them. We wish to minimize traffic disruption caused by our event, and value the support of Police services regarding participant safety, and trust you understand our position.
