Stratford’s premier 5k event
The Local Community Food Centre in Stratford, Ontario, empowers those with barriers to accessing and benefiting from good healthy food by offering opportunities to cook, grow, share, and advocate for good food for everyone in our community. Our programs empower people to advocate for themselves and assist them in building kitchen and gardening skills that help alleviate their food insecurity in a dignified and non-stigmatizing way.
Come join us on October 5th 2025 as our race takes you past the beautiful Victoria Lake and the legendary Stratford Festival theatres. This race will be chip timed and is welcomed to all runners, walkers and strollers.
We will also have a kids race with medals, starting 8:50am sharp. You must register your child(ren) to participate. The kids run is approximately 600 metres.
100% of the proceeds go to The Local Community Food Centre.
