We want to take one of our weekly runs and make it easy for our crew to participate. So, we're hosting the event at Windsor Park and starting our Run at 6:30AM. CUT THE RIBBON starts at 6:00AM. We'll be introducing our run, our partners, and we'll have a few activities for our community.

You are supporting CANCER RESEARCH through a $10 donation, and we're woking with partners to support our cause and help us fundraise.

🟧ADD YOUR STRAVA ACCOUNT | If you don't have Strava, it is 100% free to make an account and to join our group! We want to track how many people have ran so that we can ask partners to MATCH $1 TO YOUR RUNNING KILOMETERS 1:1 (TBD).

THE RUN takes place around our usual track, but we're extending it well into the Dominion Arboretum, and then following our route back to Windsor Park for the outdoor concert.
