Lifewalk gets name change

LEAMINGTON — The Erie Shores Health Foundation’s signature spring event will undergo a transformation this year, with LifeWalk now becoming RUN & ROLL.

According to a release on Monday, February 7, the RUN & ROLL will now stretch across the Lake Erie shoreline as far as Colchester. The event will be held on Sunday, May 15. “With public safety measures already in place, this will be a safe, fun and exciting way to raise money for a great cause,” said the release on social media. “Whether you’re looking for a recreational challenge, racing against the clock or walking in memory of a loved one, there is something for everyone.”

You can choose to run, walk or bike while raising funds for a special cause.

Participants will have several options from the 5K Recreational (untimed), to the Half Marathon race (timed), 5K Run Race (timed) and 5K Run Recreational (untimed). Also this year is a new 70K Advanced Bike Tour and a 25K Recreational Bike Tour.

All proceeds benefit the local Hospice Erie Shores Campus. Last year’s event raised $124,500 thanks to participants, donors and generous sponsors.
