Due to the continued uncertainty of mass participation events, the 2021 Road Race will be VIRTUAL for the 2021 race. We appreciate your continued support and understanding, we will see you in person next year!
The first race was held in September 2014 in partnership with the West Elgin Recreation Committee.
All proceeds from the race support children’s charities. Much of the funding for these programs comes from events hosted by Optimist.
In the six years since the race started the community has raised over $15,000 the charities.

The necklace tells the story of what they’ve been through.
