Oakville Half Marathon & 10K
New Fall Date: Sunday, September 25th, 2011
Just a reminder to all participants, the Oakville Half Marathon has been moved back three weeks. This year the Oakville Half Marathon, 10K Run/Walk and Whole Foods Market 2K Family Fun Run/Walk will all take place on Sunday, September 25th. This gives all interested participants the opportunity for more summer training now that we are no longer on Labour Day. Additionally, it will provide students with a more convenient way to start collecting their 40 hours of community service during the school year. Our Expo will be held in Coronation Park which is in the same location as our start and finish area! Register by August 31st to save before our next price break.
