CP Smith Fun Run
Our annual Fun Run is a wonderful opportunity to stretch and move our bodies together out on the CP Smith grounds as we say goodbye to winter and hello to spring!
A .5km (half kilometer) course will be laid out with flagging and after a group warm-up we’ll line up at the starting line for a 9:30am run start. All are welcome to participate and there is no set pace (walking, jogging, running - whatever!). Each lap earns a colored bracelet and each individual choses how many laps they’d like to run. 10 laps (5k) earns a special prize.
Please sign up to help out! We need help setting up, tracking laps and handing out bracelets, and keeping the runners fueled by bringing healthy snacks as well as sweet treats for the post-race bake sale!
CP Smith Skate Night
Bring the family for an evening of ice skating at Leddy Arena.
All are welcome! Suggested donation of $5 to help us cover the cost of skate rentals.
