The 2017 Run or Walk for Southlake, Presented by Nature’s Emporium is less than 2 weeks away, and we need your support to help make this year the biggest year yet!

On Sunday, April 30 we’ll lace up in support of Southlake Regional Health Centre – as we have for 5 amazing years now. Together, we’ve helped the event cross incredible milestones – including surpassing $1,000,000 in NET funds raised! 

We’ve accomplished a great deal, but there’s still lots of work to be done.  

Southlake is a vital resource for wellness within our community. It’s always there when you need it most. The run offers a fun-filled way to give back and ensure that great care is always available close to home. 

Want to help make that happen? Here are a couple simple ways you can support!

Sign Up for the Run.

The Run or Walk for Southlake Regional Health Centre, presented by Nature’s Emporium, welcomes runners of all ages and skill levels! You can choose to run or walk as an individual or as a team.

This year, the run has been simplified as a 5km route – at an exciting new location! For the first time in the Run’s 15 year history, participants will cross under the iconic ‘Southlake Bridge’ – symbolizing the powerful connection between the Run and the hospital it supports.

Important information regarding registration: if you’re interested in lacing up in support of Southlake, you’ll have to register online before 4pm on April 28th. You can also register in person on Saturday, April 29th at Nature’s Emporium Newmarket. There will be no race day registration available. Please don’t lose out by missing registration deadlines!

Opening Ceremonies for the 2017 Run or Walk for Southlake, Presented by Nature’s Emporium, begin at 8:15 a.m. on Sunday, April 30.

        No registration on race day. Was that advertised? I guess I’ll just go for a run elsewhere on that day. What a drag!

          Hi, Janine!

          We’re sorry to hear that you missed the registration window. It was advertised – on this blog post, on the Run for Southlake Website, and on later blog posts. Be sure to take advantage of early-bird registration next year – registration typically begins in early March.

          See you then!
          Your friends at Nature’s Emporium
