In April we presented a cheque for $4,000 to Gillian's Place. This donation was a result of another very successful Valentine's 5k race in February. This is our longest established race and raises much needed funds for Gillian's Place supporting and empowering abused women in Niagara. The 2024 race results are here Here are the 2023 overall results
Race location update
The St. Catharines Roadrunners and Walkers has supported Gillian’s Place for many years by donating funds raised from our Valentine’s 5k race. Due to new city of St. Catharines regulations requiring third party traffic control to close the roads used on the course, at a significant cost, we decided in 2024 to move the race to an exciting new venue at Charles Ansell Park at Lock 1. The 2025 event returns to the same location. Race kit pick up and the awards ceremony will be held at Grantham Lions Hall. We look forward to your continued support and we value your participation greatly! This race offers great value. Walkers are always welcome.
Come out, run a great course and enjoy Niagara's best post-race party with the usual St. Catharines Road Runners' hospitality. All proceeds go to Gillian's Place. As a result of the 2024 race we presented a cheque for $3,830 to Gillian's Place.
