Every Groundhog Day, there’s an opportunity to get out and run a fun 5k! Saturday morning during the Wiarton Willie Festival, the run starts at the high school and sets out around town catching all the sights. So “bridge the gap” between last year’s running season and next summer’s goals by following these simple steps:
1. REGISTER EARLY to commit & motivate yourself
2. TRAIN (visiting Wiarton Fitness Centre, 580 Berford St in Wiarton will help!)
3. BURN some winter fat!
4. RACE! (save the date: it’s Sunday morning now!)
