MSC Trail Walk and Run - May 25
Article content
The MSC Trail Walk and Run is running a few months earlier this year with a planned Tillsonburg walk/run on Sunday, May 25.
The goal this year is to raise more than $5,000 for the Multi-Service Centre and the Parkinson Society of Southwestern Ontario. Money is raised through corporate sponsorships, registrations (minimum donation) and additional donations collected by participants.
The MSC Trail Walk and Run is a family-friendly event for all ages and fitness levels. Family activities include a bouncy castle, face painting, mascots, games and a barbecue.
Walk or run are along the scenic Carroll Trail in Coronation Park, which is full of beautiful vistas and has several bridges to cross and go under, including a major railroad trestle from the 1880s. It is a unique trail as it interfaces with The Bridges at Tillsonburg golf course. Paths are limestone and paved surfaces.
Two courses are available – a shorter 2 km loop (low difficulty) and a longer 5 km loop (medium difficulty) which has two hills.
A total of 113 people attended last year's 2nd annual MSC Trail Walk and Run in September 2013, which raised about $4,500.
