Pace for the Donkeys is a 5K trail run (walkers welcome!) to be run on the trails and through the fields of the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada, in Guelph, Ontario. It’s fun for all ‘pacers’, and good for donkeys since all proceeds go to them. The race will be timed, but go at your own PACE (just as donkeys do!). This year, the trail run will be digital. But you will still be able to follow along via video if you register!

DSC Information
Since 1992, the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada has provided a lifelong home – and haven – to donkeys, mules and hinnies who have been abandoned, neglected and abused – or whose owners who can no longer care for them. There are currently 82 donkeys and mules at the Sanctuary Farm, and 42 more in our approved Foster Farm network.
We envision a world in which the dignity and worth of all creatures is recognized and respected.
Currently, the DSC is funded entirely through private individual donations and community and corporate sponsorships of special events.
We are excited to announce that we are once again hosting the Annual PACE for the Donkeys 5K. This unique race and experiences twists through the trails of our Sanctuary, passing wild life along the way, before heading back down the laneway to the donkey paddocks. Run through the donkey paddocks and experience their excitement as you come up on the finish line. Spend a day here at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada!
The DSC is a not-for-profit licensed charity. Charitable Number: 138721253 RR0001
