Organiser's Description

Join the 24-Hour to Empower Running Challenge in Barrie, Ontario, and help raise funds for the Women & Children's Shelter of Barrie.

Over 24 hours, participants will complete 5 km every hour, on the hour, a total of 120 km. Take on the full challenge yourself, share the distance with friends as a relay team, or simply join for a single 5 km loop.

The challenge represents something much bigger than the distance.

Just as a 120 km journey isn't completed in a single step, escaping domestic violence isn't a single actionβ€”it's a process. It takes courage, support, planning, and countless small steps toward safety. Every kilometre run symbolizes another step forward for women and children rebuilding their lives.
