Athletes In Kind continues it's tradition of hosting athletic events to support families struggling financially while their child is in cancer treatment.
This charity event keeps the BIG RACE look with a SMALL TOWN feel from Canada Day. Now you can RUN FAST in October and help families at the same time.
Choose the 5k or 10k distances. Both are scenic and fast. Part trail, part road, all fun.
Under 12yrs "OktoberFUN run" for the kids around the village.
Each finisher receives a custom pint glass from Foamers' Folly Brewing Co. (The kids recieve a Foamers' Sampler glass)
Yes there is beer for that glass!
Bring it to the Post Race Party at Foamers' Folly for your first fill free!
The BBQ will be going with all the proceeds to Athletes In Kind. Yes, bring the kids, they get a free kids drink with their glass.
*Race day registration is $50 for the 5 & 10k, $15 for the Kids.
