Lace up your walking shoes and get ready to make a difference in our community at the 13th Annual Shamrock Shuffle!

Join us on March 28, 2026, for an inspiring day of fun, fitness, and philanthropy as we come together to support The INN St. Thomas Elgin, the only low barrier 24*7 homeless shelter, in their mission to aid those experiencing chronic homelessness in the St Thomas Elgin area.

Last year, we were thrilled to have 158 participants and 15 sponsors who helped us raise over $29,000. This incredible support has enabled us to provide vital services and care to the most vulnerable members of our community, including shelter, nutritious meals, personal care services and housing support.

The Shamrock Shuffle is more than just a walk—it's a celebration of community spirit and a commitment to making a positive impact. Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome to join, whether you're a seasoned walker or simply looking for a meaningful way to spend your day. The event will feature a scenic route through our beautiful town, with plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow supporters and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Event Highlights:

  • Date: March 28, 2026

  • Location: St. Thomas-Elgin

  • Activities: Scenic walk/run, refreshments, cinch bags and community gathering

  • Trophies for the Top Fundraising Team, Top Fundraising Individual, Oldest Participant, Youngest Participant, Best Dressed Individual, and Best Dressed Team

  • All proceeds go directly to supporting The INN St. Thomas Elgin

By participating in the Shamrock Shuffle, you're helping to provide crucial support to those in need. The funds raised will enable The INN to continue offering essential services to those in need.

We invite you to be a part of this special event and make a lasting difference in our community. Register now and join us in our mission to create a safer, healthier, and more supportive environment for all.

    Whether you're a runner or cyclist looking for an early-season event to shake off winter and gear up for summer events, a new runner enjoying spring weather and a fun run, or looking for a way to support the work of Sanctuary, we invite you to join us.

    Sanctuary seeks to be a place of safety, support, and community for those who are, too often, pushed to the margins. Home is, or should be, a place of community and belonging. Together we are trekking to build a place that feels like Home for everyone.

    How you can help power our mission:

    1. Walk/Run/Cycle: Join us on April 18th as we Trek for Home (5km, 10km, 21km)

    2. Donate: Every dollar helps us towards our goal or sign up as a monthly donor

    3. Share: Share our campaign and build a team to run/walk/cycle

    4. Volunteer: Your time and skills can make an impact too.

    Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable.

    Welcome to the Spring edition 🌸 of the Run to London Brewing co-op from BackRoads!

    Join us on Saturday, April 25th for a FREE, community-driven run full of great energy, friendly faces, and post-run hangs at the brewery 🍻

    We’ve built this event to be inclusive and approachable, with distance options for everyone, ranging from 5km-25km! For the three distances starting at BackRoads, we’ll have a bag drop (one bag per person) and will bring your belongings straight to the brewery finish line.

    Aid stations will be available along the routes, stocked to keep you fuelled and moving thanks to our friends at Tailwind Nutrition!

    At the finish line, celebrate your run with a BackRoads x London Brewing collaboration beer, food from a local vendor, and an inviting finish-area hangout with your London running community.

    To kickstart recovery right away, our friends from Sauna Cycle Co. will be on site with their cold plunge + sauna setup, bringing the recovery experience straight to the brewery.

    Come for the run, stay for the vibes - See you there!

    Similar to our Run to Port Stanley, your pace and distance will give you a suggested starting time, having you finish with everyone around 10:45-11:00am. We have 2 volunteer aided stops along the way stocked with TAILWIND endurance fuel, with the first being at the Forks of the Thames, and the second being at the Egerton 'turn-off' on the TVP.

    • this event will be capped at 225 runners -
