Back for a second year, this family-friendly event is moving to an exciting new location at the iconic Willow Tree Golf Course. A cornerstone of Southwestern Ontario’s golf scene since opening in 1914, Willow Tree offers a perfect backdrop for runners and spectators alike. Bring your friends to relax by the firepits, grab a drink at The Balcony or on the patio, and cheer on the athletes. The start and finish line will be conveniently located near the clubhouse.

Race format: Run or walk as many laps of a loop that will be approximately 2.5km, as you can in 6 hours, from 8am - 2pm. You must finish your last lap before the 2pm cut-off.

There is the option to run as a relay team of 3 participants.
