5 running events in St. Thomas, Ontario

We're back again with another group run to Port Stanley. The full distance is 21km, but we have various shorter starting points at the 17, 15, 12, and 8 km points. Afterwards, we hope you will join us for brunch at The Buccaneer. A carpool back to St. Thomas is available for those that need it.

A support vehicle will be provided with water and snacks, operated by a volunteer. You will have the opportunity at your starting point to leave any items in the support vehicle that you require along the way (e.g. personal hydration and nutrition, dry clothes) and will have access to them at each stopping point as well as at the end.

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.
