The St. Catharines Roadrunners and Walkers has supported Gillian’s Place for many years by donating funds raised from our Valentine’s 5k race.  The 2026 event will be held again on the Welland Canals Parkway in St. Catharines, but starting near the Lock 3 Museum, 1932 Welland Canals Parkway.  Race kit pick up and the awards ceremony will be held in the Lockview Lounge, which is on the first floor above the museum.   We look forward to your continued support and we value your participation greatly!  This race offers great value. Walkers are always welcome. The 2025 race results are here!
