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.
