The Chatham-Kent Harvest Run had a record turn out and raised more than $25,000, recently.
Proceeds go toward United Way’s Community Fund, supporting 21 partner programs and 13 direct services in Chatham-Kent.
Presented by Greenfield Specialty Alcohols, this year’s event attracted 258 participants.
“This was one of our biggest turnouts ever. The event received a lot of positive feedback on the new half-marathon route,” said race co-ordinator, Matt Wood. “We couldn’t have asked for better weather. It was a great day.”
The event included a kid’s dash, a 5K walk/run, a 10K run, and a half marathon. Custom medals were awarded to participants in all events. Participants also received a commemorative race T-shirt.
