Our Cause
A fun event that gives back to the community
What Motivates Us
The Huron Shore Run is a community event with a primary goal of promoting physical fitness and active living through road races and walking while raising money for the community initiatives.
This annual event has been able to continue since 1988 due to the endless support of all our sponsors, participants, donors, pledges, and volunteers. A huge thank you to all involved over the years! We couldn’t do this without you.
This Athletics Ontario registered event, brings not only locals out for the day, but racers and their families from all across Ontario.
What motivates us! Each year the Rotary Huron Shore Run team donates the event profits back to community causes and this year is no different. Over the past few years, donations have gone towards the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation to support their new ER, lab, and the CT scan, and community groups such as Rotary for community projects, and athletic youth groups.
For 2023, the primary fundraiser is for the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation and the new Wellness and Treatment Centre build in Owen Sound; the first of its kind in this region! Based on harm reduction and recovery principles, the Centre will provide a safe environment for individuals in need of additional support following discharge from hospital/addiction services or who are being referred from a community agency.
Additional funds raised this year will support the Saugeen Track and Field Club, the Saugeen Shores Lifesaving Club, and all three Rotary groups in Saugeen Shores.
Learn a little more about each of these organizations.
Fundraising
When you are out on the course, you will not only be doing something good for yourself by promoting a healthy lifestyle, you will be supporting several important organizations in the community.
We challenge all participants to collect pledges for this very worthy cause.
