Saturday May 14, 2016 9:30 a.m. Wilmot Recreation Complex, Baden, ON
The signature distance of this event is the Baden Hill 7 Miler, which ascends the aerial Baden Tower Hill. Runners will climb the steep gravel slope and turn around at the top. At the top - which is the highest point in Southwestern Ontario - don't miss ringing the brass bell! Also at this event are the Neil Dunford memorial 5 KM, as well as 1 KM and 200m events for children.
For the past 37 years, Wilmot Township has been home to a great running tradition. With various venues, courses, distances, charities, and even names over the years, one thing has remained - the passion and community support for a great running event. We're thrilled to continue the tradition in 2016 with the 3rd annual Baden Road Races!
We can't wait, and we hope you join us!

The 5 kilometre will follow a similar course, and turn around on Gingerich near Foundry.

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.
