Candlelighters Go Gold

About the Event

Join us for the Go Gold Fun Run, an exciting community event aimed at raising funds to support families affected by childhood cancer. Proceeds from this race will help send one child to camp, ensuring they have some normalcy during their challenging journey.
The 5K run takes you around picturesque Quidi Vidi Lake, offering a scenic route through the natural beauty of Newfoundland and Labrador. Participants can expect a well-marked course that is both enjoyable and safe for runners of all levels. The event is limited to just 200 spots to maintain an intimate atmosphere, making it perfect for those who cherish community involvement.
The fun run not only supports the Candlelighters Association of NL but also provides essential services such as support, education, encouragement, advocacy, and hope to families dealing with childhood cancer. Show your solidarity by registering early; tickets are limited and will go quickly!
Let's come together to make a difference in the lives of children battling this devastating disease. Your participation can truly change their day!
