IMPORTANT WEATHER ALERT!

Due to the forecast hot weather, we have increased the number of water/gatorade stations, and added a water spray station at the half way mark of the Half Marathon. The Half Marathon will have 8 stations along the route, and the Quarter Marathon will have 4 stations along the route.

It is extremely important to be well hydrated prior to the run. Water/gatorade stations will be at the start and finish of both races as well.

The 4th 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.
