Join us for an invigorating group run along the picturesque coastline from St. Thomas to Port Stanley, offering runners various distance options ranging from 8km up to the full 21km route. As you lace up your shoes and set off, take in the serene beauty of Lake Erie’s shoreline, with its gentle waves lapping against the sandy beaches. For those starting at shorter distances—such as the popular 17km point—you’ll still enjoy a significant portion of the scenic trail before reaching Port Stanley, where the bustling seaside atmosphere awaits. Along the way, runners will benefit from support provided by volunteer drivers who offer carpool services back to St. Thomas for anyone requiring transportation after completing their run. A dedicated support vehicle manned by volunteers ensures that participants have access to water and snacks at regular intervals throughout the route. At your starting point, you can leave any personal items like extra hydration or dry clothing with this vehicle; it will be available during stops along the way, including a final aid station near The Green Roof before reaching Port Stanley. Once you’ve crossed the finish line in Port Stanley, why not stick around to enjoy brunch at The Buccaneer? This seaside restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere and delicious food to celebrate your achievement with fellow runners. For those who need assistance getting back home afterward, carpool options are available right after the event concludes. Whether you’re an experienced runner or just looking for a fun day out on the trails, this group run promises a memorable experience along one of Ontario’s most beautiful coastal routes.
