FAQs
Can I register on the day of the event? It is strongly encouraged that you register online prior to March 21, 2024. In-person registration (cash or cheque only) will be available on Kit Pick Up Night on Thursday, March 21, between 5:00 and 8:00 pm at Central United Church 135 Wellington Street in the gymnasium. Very last-minute registration can be completed on Race Day from 8:00 am to 8:45 am (cash/cheque only). Please note Saturday morning (8:00-8:45) is very busy with last-minute Kit Pickups and receipt of donation/pledge gifts; therefore, we request registration for the event be done, if at all possible, prior to the event date.
Do children under 10 have to participate in the same event as their parents? A parent is not required to participate directly with their child, although we would encourage you to use your personal judgement for your own child. There will be marshals on the route, but we are not responsible for the safety of your child during the event.
Where can I drop off my donations/pledges before the event? You complete this at the Kit Pick Up Night, Thursday, March 21, between 5:00 and 8:00 pm at Central United Church 135 Wellington Street in the gymnasium (Event Location).
Can I bring my dog? Dogs are welcome on the route as long as they are on a leash and well-behaved, and owners are responsible for removing any treasures their dogs leave behind. Please note that dogs are not allowed in the church.
Is this race timed? No, it is strictly a fun event to get the people of our community together to raise money for a great organization. Feel free to walk or run this in a manner that works for you and your training.
Will the course be closed to traffic? The route will NOT be closed to traffic. Participants are asked to stay on the sidewalks and obey the rules of the road. At intersections where participants will be crossing the road, there will be a marshall to assist.
What if the weather is bad the morning of the event? The event goes no matter the weather. The gym will remain open through the event if you wish to stay indoors.
How long would it take me to walk 2 km or 5 km or run 5 km? While the time will vary for each person, a 2 km walk or 5 km run would typically take about 30 to 40 minutes. A 5 km walk would take about an hour. More experienced walkers and runners could take less time.
Will I receive a tax receipt for donations? Tax receipts are provided by Inn Out of the Cold and will be sent to the donor who has donated $20+ and has provided their mailing address. Receipts will be mailed out in time for 2024 tax season.
