Location:
City Hall, Barrie, Ontario then run down Yonge Street until you reach Lake Ontario
Imagine running close to 100 km on the longest day of the year along the longest street in Canada! On Monday, June 21st, a dedicated group of runners will be doing just that by participating in the sixth annual RUN WITH THE SUN - running from sun up to sun down along Yonge Street from Barrie to Toronto. Our goal is to raise awareness for sun safety and funds for the Women's College Hospital Melanoma and Pigmented Lesion Clinic.
Paul Bredin and Sean McSweeney launched RUN WITH THE SUN in 2005 when they both had family members touched by cancer. As avid runners, they decided to do something extraordinary to support research activities in Canada. All donations/proceeds will go to Women's College Hospital Melanoma and Pigmented Lesion Clinic.
We start by meeting at Barrie City Hall at sunrise (5:35 AM) and run down Yonge Street until we reach Lake Ontario.
This is a non competitive event - all for one and one for all. We have a support vehicle that brings us food and drinks, the vehicle and driver are volunteered, we share the cost of food.
Total distance is 92.5 kilometers.

I hope you had a great day
I hope you had a great day running today!
Very Cool
Not that I am in any shape for a 100km road run, but the format is enticing...celebrating the summer solstice/longest day of the year with a run along Canada's longest street....and all for a good cause.
As a background to our members, Rolf is a new member from Ontario. His run has been organized for a few year, but he is looking for more interest. He is cutting it tight in terms of time left before the run...12 days, but let's help him spread the word in Ontario.
