Organiser's Description
PLEASE NOTE *** If you are signing up for the 1/2 Marathon......Due to construction in Goderich on the RAIL TRAIL, the 1/2 marathon is NOT a CERTIFIED route. It will commence next year when construction is completed. Non-certified means it is not measured out by Athletics Canada to be deemed a true 1/2 marathon. We apologize for any inconvenienceWalk/Run fundraiser for life saving defibrillators in the name of fallen police, fire, paramedic, and military. The Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund is a fund set up in memory of Dave Mounsey, an OPP Officer, who lost his life in the line of duty. This fund raises money that goes directly towards the purchase of defibrillators. In 2024, 27 defibrillators were donated throughout the year, reaching a total of 201. 7 lives have been confirmed saved by the Fund's donations; and so many women and men remembered, we look forward to our 2025 year which will be our 15th year of The Run Around The Square.If your child would like to take part in the run/walk, there is no fee, and no need to register. THE YMCA sponsors the run for the kids, and will have a table on the square before the kid’s run informing the kids about the race. There will be a brief warm-up at 08:15h and the kid’s race will take place at 08:30h, completing one lap of the square. Medals will be given to all participants in the kid’s race. Anyone who would like to fundraise for the Run Around the Square is encouraged to do so. This can be done on Race Roster. Any registrant who raises $150.00 or more towards the run will receive a complimentary DMMF blanket.
