It was the first running of the event since 2020, following two years of COVID-19 related restrictions.

Another 777 participants battled cold and windy conditions, to complete a five kilometre course.

The St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation says more than 20 corporate fundraising teams, and individual fundraisers, raised $275,000 to support two vital projects, an expansion and renewal of the hospital’s emergency mental health service and creation of a CT Suite in the emergency department.
