Miss Vicky's Offhand Remarks

Run for it - July 18

The annual Hintonburg Centennial 5k/1k is coming up soon - July 18! It's a great event - Miss Vicky and the Webgeek have run it in the past and had a fun time hoofing it through the 'hood. This year may be WeeG's first 1k, as we are not sure he'll want to stay in a stroller while Mom and Dad run. He's a busy guy with energy to burn (shocking, I know).

Now, this 5k is a fun run/walk - no pressure, and diverse participants of many ages and abilities.

If running is not your bag, though, there is a way you can participate and help make this event a success. This kind of run needs a LOT of people helping out - at the start and finish lines by Parkdale Park, and especially at the street barricades throughout the course, which runs through Hintonburg and West Wellington. You'd be needed from about 8:30 to about 10 - and there will be cake afterwards! Plus you get to cheer on friends and neighbours. It is a good gig.

Nat Hanson is coordinating volunteers and would love to hear from anyone who'd like to help out. She can be reached a natalie.hanson@gmail.com
