First Annual Wylie Ryan 2Km Run
With the support of our great Race Director, Wendy Hillier,
and the RedHawks Athletic Department, we are launching the first
annual Wylie Ryan Smiths Falls 2Km Run - for kids 12 and under.
The run (which is actually 2.2Km) takes place beside the Rideau
Canal and loops through Lower Reach Park on a safe traffic free
trail. The kids will head out on their run at 9:30 a.m. following
the adult duathlon participants. Parents and older siblings can
jog a long with the kids for free, so kids from 1 year of age (in
strollers) all the way up to the 11-12 year olds can join in. Remember,
everyone gets a timing chip, a souvenir shirt, a finish medal, something
to eat and a chance at draw prizes. So come on out and join the
fun. Go to website for registration information.
