Westover Shore to Shore 300km Relay

Who is interested in putting a team(s) in this phenomenal event? If we have enough interest we could put in a couple of teams.


On May 30-31, 2008 Westover Treatment Centre is pleased be hosting the second annual Westover Shore to Shore 300 KM Relay, the first relay of its kind in Ontario. We had 58 teams (608 participants) last year. We expect over 100 teams in 2008.



The event begins in Port Stanley on Lake Erie and ends in Grand Bend on Lake Huron. Teams of 6-12 are invited to register for one of three relays. The 36 Leg Running Relay begins on Friday morning in Port Stanley. The 22 Leg Walking Relay is 175 KM beginning at Stage Two in Thamesville. The 8 Leg Recreational Walking Relay is 60 KM and starts at Stage Four in Sarnia. Everyone finishes Saturday afternoon with a large beach party in Grand Bend.



Feedback from participants last year taught us that teams need to plan well in advance. Many of you are now finishing your preparation for a fall 10 K, half or full marathon. Soon you will be planning for the spring. We expect the Shore to Shore will again be one of the most unique and exciting running/walking events in Ontario next spring and we would be very pleased to have your club represented by a team or two. For all of the details, results, photo gallery and registration, please visit www.shoretoshorerelay.com.



The event is a fundraiser for Westover Treatment Centre, a residential treatment facility for drug and alcohol addiction. Our 33-Bed facility (Stage Two on the course) is funded 75% by the Provincial Ministry of Health. The rest we raise on our own. To learn more about us, please visit www.westover-fdn.org. We want every runner and walker in the province to be aware of this unique opportunity. They may even take advantage of the early race fee available until October 31.



Thanks very much and don’t hesitate to email our Director of Communications, Chris Veillon, if you have any questions. You will find his coordinates on the "contact us" page of the website.
