Last year was a huge success with the return of the St. Clair River Run. As if there was no time lost, after a long four year hiatus, a truly beloved community event was attended by so many.
This year, your directors are committed to continuing to bring bigger and better to an already amazing event.
This year we’re thrilled to announce the addition and return of the half marathon event along the beautiful St. Clair River.
Along with an incredible day filled with all things community, beautiful scenery, and all your hard work paying off; stay tuned for upcoming announcements of opportunities to prepare for the big day. Whether you've decided this is the year you’d like to give running a try, looking to elevate your current run life style, or committing to making that big kilometre increase. There will be something for everyone and we look forward to sharing all things running - knowledge, growth, and community.
