RLC Hekkla 2022

You are invited to run the traditional 17 km Hekkla with our students and staff virtually, in your home location, or you may choose to join our Alumni Association virtually for a shorter 2 km - 5 km Hekklette in your neighbourhood.

Since 1968, The Hekkla has been an annual 17 km personal-fitness-challenge run that every RLC student and staff member participates in. Each spring, students aim to beat their personal best, and all alumni have memories of the traditional run through scenic Muskoka, swatting black flies, then crossing the finish line with an exhilarating feeling of accomplishment.

Many RLC alumni and friends continue to participate in the Hekkla long after they graduate from the college. Although students are required to complete the full 17 km course, the RLC Alumni Association hosts a smaller version named The Hekklette! Launched in 2019, alumni from around the globe run or walk a distance they feel comfortable with.

In 2021, the Hekkla and Hekklette became a fundraiser in memory of our former Head of School, friend and colleague, Robert Carreau. Early in the morning on November 2, 2020, while out running, Robert was hit by a car and passed away in a tragic accident. The RLC Hekkla was one of his favourite events of the year.

The $25 “plus” participation fees will go to the continued maintenance of the Robert Carreau Memorial Trail and heritage sites along the trail. The trail will forever provide RLC students, staff and alumni a safe place to run, walk and bike.

For those who wish to donate above the $25 run registration fee, we have included an optional donation button at registration.

Due to COVID restrictions this spring, guests are not permitted to join the on-campus run.
