WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
This is my favourite run of the year! Not only is it challenging (hello hills!), it’s also just so much fun! The atmosphere is so upbeat and positive and the concert is a great way to cap off the day! Last year was our first year and we liked it so much we brought back two other families this year. Thank you to all of the volunteers and organizers for another fantastic event!
