Fifth Annual RunWalk4Patrick Family Fest
June 13, 2010 - North Bay, Ontario


Join us on June 13, 2010 for the fifth annual RunWalk4Patrick Family Fest and pasta dinner. Last year's event exceeded everyone's expectations with 620 participants and their families and friends. This well organized family day is not just a run, it includes various musicians, a healthy lunch and a scenic, flat race course. All of this on beautiful Lake Nipissing in North Bay, Ontario. We are just three and a half hours north of Toronto and three and a half hours west of Ottawa. Come and enjoy great food, excercise and breathe in the fresh air and friendliness of North Bay. This year's registration day, Saturday June 12, 2010, features a runner's expo.  Feel free to browse the many vendors on display in the Algonquin gymnasium from 10am-4pm.
