Our annual and always ELECTRIC BackRoads run to Port Stanley Beach is approaching on Saturday, August 23rd. This is a fun social run with distance options for everyone, ranging from 3.5km to 33.6km, supported by water/fuelling stations and bag drops from our amazing volunteers!
We have staggered start times provided through registration based on your desired pace and start location. Our goal is to have everyone finish at 10:45am. This run is FREE and open to ALL runners in our community! There is an optional donation this year, as BackRoads is proud to be supporting Good Neighbours Canada - if you can, please consider donating.
Our classic Port Stanley route is the same as previous years (with two new fuelling stations), following Colonel Talbot/Sunset Drive straight into Port Stanley, taking a right at the lift bridge and over to the beach!! 🏖 Stick around afterwards for lunch on GT's Patio!
Our friends from On will have shoes to try on with 7.5km to go! We will have a MEMORABLE finish line archway that you won't want to miss, and everyone that wears a pair of On shoes will receive a complimentary beverage from them at GT's!
Last year, we had 224 runners! The event will be capped at 250 runners this year, and registration is mandatory.
