The Merry Mile

Ring in the New Year with fresh energy! Come join The Run Parlour Clinton for a post holiday Shake Out Run at the Benmiller Community Hall. Start your year on the right foot with a relaxed social mile - perfect for easing back into movement and stepping into the new year with friends! After the run, we'll head to the hall for a warm and welcoming celebration featuring music, snacks and great company. Mark your calendar and kick of 2026 with us!

All proceeds in support of Huron Heart to Home. NEW THIS YEAR - create a fundraising team with your run club/family/gym buddies, and challenge your rivals! The top fundraising team will win some sweet prizes and year-long bragging rights.

Lineup:

• 6-6:15pm arrival
• 6:15pm run (or walk) your Merry Mile!
• 6:45-9pm live music, refreshments and prizes at the Hall

FAQs

• Can I bring my kids? Absolutely! The route is stroller-accessible, and we'll have crayons and colouring pages back at the hall. As we are raising funds for a good cause, we do ask that you register any child old enough to eat the snacks :)
• Where should I park? There is a municipal parking lot just across the road from the Hall. We ask that you leave the limited spaces directly at the Hall for those with small children.
• Is this a race? Are there prizes? No, and yes! No chip timers or performance prizes, but we are raising funds for CMHA Huron Perth's Heart to Home program. The top fundraising team will win some goodies!
• What if it is (cold/wet/rainy/snowy/etc)? The event will go on! Please only travel if safe to do so. There are ample washrooms at the Hall, so feel free to pack a warm/dry change of clothes so you can enjoy the party in comfort after the run. There will be no refunds issued in case of inclement weather.
