Get Active In Temiskaming
A series of 6 themed run and walk events in the Temiskaming area, fundraising for local organizations also promoting healthy, active living. 2024 beneficiaries are Temiskaming Nordic Team Ski Racers, Temiskaming Shores Skating Club and Temiskaming Thunder Basketball Program. Run or walk a variety of distances for all ages. We are a cup-less series so please bring refillable water bottles and at every event. We also collect gently worn used shoes for Soles 4 Souls Canada.
Give Shoes. Give Love. Please consider donating your old shoes at any of our events and check out all the great things this organization is doing: https://soles4soulscanada.org
