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.
