Virtual Race
June 1st - September 30th, 2021

This race is for YOU!

We are launching the first annual Chronic Pain Awareness Walk/Run in partnership with Avella Injury and Pain Management Centre. This event will create awareness of chronic pain and the impact it can have on individuals, families and communities. This event encourages runners, walkers and individuals of all abilities to get active and benefit from the positive effects of physical activity. Some of the improvements exercise can make are reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, and overall well being. There are four distances options - 1K, 2K, 5K and 10K. Run or walk your choice of event anytime between June 1st and September 30th, 2021.

This race is priced at only $35 plus $10 for shipping and handling if you need your kit mailed to you. The race kit includes a finisher medal, a technical t-shirt available in both men's and women's styles, or a hat, and a face mask!
