What is it?
The Global Energy Race by Dempster’s consists of two distances that are open to everyone to encourage Canadians to get active together: a fun, family-focused 3K walk/run and a 10K race for runners who want to challenges themselves.
What does the registration include?
Registration includes the day-of festivities, race kit (t-shirt, race bib, timer, Dempster’s swag), a pre-race breakfast, post-race lunch featuring Dempster’s products and the official 2018 Global Energy Race medal.
Who is it for?
The 3K walk/run is a family-friendly event that is open to all levels, including families with little children, walking groups and dogs on leashes, to promote physical activity at all ages. Children and families are invited to participate in free activities (face painting, sign making, paint-by-number, bean bag toss, etc.) and watch live entertainment before and after the race.
The 10K timed race is for those who want to challenge themselves and set a personal best. The male and female winners of the 10K race will receive an all-expenses paid trip (including airfare, accommodations and spending money) to the 2019 Global Energy Race in Madrid, Spain for themselves and a guest (approx. retail value of $6,500 CAD).
