Point Douglas Run
ANNUAL 10 KILOMETRE RUN, 5 KILOMETRE RUN, 2.5 KILOMETRE RUN AND COMMUNITY WALK
The 12th annual Point Douglas Run is planned for Saturday September 9th, 2023.
The scenic route winds along the Red River, encompassing many historical points of interest. Come discover one of Winnipeg’s hidden jewels while having fun supporting the following valuable, local organizations: The North Point Douglas Women’s Centre, Norquay Community Centre and Graffiti Art Programming.
Each 2.5 km, 5 km and 10 km run participant will receive a FREE technical shirt (while quantities last at Race Kit Pick Up). After the run/walk, participants will be treated to a breakfast.
We encourage runners and walkers to be creative and dress up for this event. There will be a prize for the most popular outfit. Each registered participant will receive a raffle ticket for prizes to be drawn at the conclusion of the race.
The event philosophy is that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the many emotional, psychological, social and physical benefits of running and walking.
The event is a fundraiser for the Street Feet Run Well partner centres and 100% of the profits from the event will go these centres:
• The North Point Douglas Women’s Centre (NPDWC)
• The Norquay Community Centre
• Graffiti Art Programming
