Woodland Walk & Run
October 3, 2026
Welcome to Woodland Walk & Run! Lace up your shoes, gather your friends and family, and join us on Saturday, October 3 in Exeter, Ontario for a fun-filled day in support of local children and families. Formerly known as Run4Kids, this beloved community tradition is entering an exciting new chapter while continuing to support the important work of Rural Response for Healthy Children.
This year's event will once again take place at Morrison Dam Conservation Area, offering a beautiful trail setting for both the 2km walk and 5km run.
All proceeds support Rural Response for Healthy Children, which provides programs and services that help local families create positive environments where children can thrive. This includes positive parenting education, support for families experiencing life transitions or vulnerable situations, and healthy living programs.
Choose the experience that's right for you: a 2km walk or a 5km run. Whether you're a seasoned runner or walking with friends and family, there's something for everyone.
Move together, grow together.

It’s not a race, let’s call it a fun run, we just want some friends to get together to run. Entry fees are minimal; enough to cover expenses like portable toilets and propane for heat. But there will be 200 mile stickers and 100 mile stickers. This year’s event will again be a fundraiser, any money in excess of expenses will be donated to the Mood Disorders Society of Canada. We’re calling the event Three Days in the Park, or 3DIP for short, but unofficially it will be the Stahr Wahrs Ultra. We can’t afford a legit Star Wars license, so we’ve had to use a different spelling, and for the support crew the “H” stands for “hammered”. Nobody will be discouraged from wearing or bringing Star Wars gear. The course is a one mile loop with a little hill, short and steep. And maybe a second, bonus hill. And some fun signs. And led lights.
A brand new race experience is coming to Kincardine.
The Lighthouse-to-Lighthouse Half Marathon & 5K will take runners along our stunning shoreline, connecting two of our most iconic landmarks...the Point Clark and Kincardine lighthouses!
This is the 5th Annual Stratford 5k Run/Walk.
Thanks to all our runners from 2025, we were able to raise more than $32,000+ for The Local Community Food Centre (CFC).
The Local CFC Stratford 5K Run/Walk will start and finish in Upper Queens Park Stratford Ontario. The route will take you past the beautiful Victoria lake and the legendary Stratford Festival theatres. This race will be chip timed and is welcomed to all runners, walkers and strollers. We will also have a kids race with medals and treats from Rheo Thompson, starting 8:50am sharp. You must register your child(ren) to participate. The kids run is approximately 600 metres. 100% of the proceeds go to The Local Community Food Centre.
Remember: Reduced registration fee for all youths under the age of 17 that participate in the 5K. $20 + registration fees
PLEASE NOTE: You’ll notice a lower registration fee plus a minimum donation amount. Together, these equal the total cost of registration.
We’ve structured it this way so 5K participants receive a tax receipt on the donation portion and pay a lower processing fee. If you’re able, we encourage you to donate above the minimum and help make an even bigger impact.
Fundraising Challenge: You will receive a reward based on the fundraising amount you reach by end of race day (see below for the fundraising tiers). There will be prizing for all fundraisers that raise $250 or greater for The Local Community Food Centre. Better prizing as you hit higher fundraising tiers. For rewards please visit https://stratford5k.com/fundraising-challenge/.
