Volunteer
We are always looking for volunteers, our biggest needs are volunteers to assist as course marshals directing runners on the course. We also have a need for two lead bikes. If you are interested, please contact Chris Moulton at cmoulton@mail.com.
Santa Parade
Following the run the Guelph Community Santa Clause Parade will come down the course. Participants are encouraged to stick around and enjoy the parade.
Here are some photos from last year's parade.
