Description
Welcome to the third edition of the Springbank Sprint!
As in years past, we are tremendously excited to welcome you to Springbank Park for a 5 km (New Era Grafix 5k) or 10 km (BackRoads Brews + Shoes 10k) race. In addition, we will be hosting some shorter runs for the kids (Little Vikings Sports Camp Kids' Runs).
New this year, The Jacob McKay Memorial Tandem Challenge! Perfect for corporate teams or run clubs, the tandem challenge will be a two person 10k relay (each runner will run 5k). Registration for this event is free and limited to ten teams. In return for free registration, teams will each have a goal of raising $1000 or more for Children's Health Foundation. This is a great way to rally your company or run club behind your team to see who can raise the most for CHF! We're looking forward to seeing which London company or run club can raise the most! **to register for Jacob's Race, you'll need to email us for an access code**
We will also be hosting some walking only events, 5k and 10k.
As with all of our events, $5 from each adult registration will be donated to the Children's Health Foundation in support of children and their families in our community.
The Venue
Springbank Park is the crown jewel of the Thames Valley Parkway. Come and enjoy the fast multi-use paved pathways as you run alongside the Thames River. The route is closed to vehicular traffic. The 5km, 10 km, and 1 km kids' run, are primarily out and back routes. The 50 metre and 100 metre kids' runs are short point to point runs.
The races will begin and end at 1205 Commissioners Road West, London, Ontario). There is ample parking near the start/finish area within 750 metres of the start/finish.
