Run for Food and Farmers - Run or Walk for Biodiversity!
May 26, 2012 to May 27, 2012
Are you a Runner or a Walker?
Are you looking for a way to have some healthy fun with family or friends, and make a contribution to a cause you believe in? Then, we may have just the right thing for you!
After a very successful 2011 campaign (many thanks to everyone who walked, ran or donated!), USC Canada is expanding our Run for Biodiversity (R4B) campaign to 4 cities this year, and we're looking for runners and walkers to join our R4B fundraising team in 2012!
Please note: we've just found out that the Ottawa races are filling up very fast, so if you are planning on participating, we do recommend that you don't delay and register today! The Ottawa half-marathon is already 84% sold out, and the marathon and 10km races are close to 50% sold out.
If you do register, or simply want more information about how you can support farmers in this way, please send an email to David Rain at R4B usc-canada.org*
Who is USC Canada?
USC Canada helps farmers in Africa, Asia, and Latin America grow more food for their families, in ways that are kind to the environment and that nurture biodiversity. We were founded in 1945 by Dr Lotta Hitschmanova, one of Canada's most beloved humanitarian leaders.
Location: Ottawa, ON
