The ninth annual Canal Pursuit for Mental Health arrived in Peterborough on Monday night.
The relay, which began Aug. 19 in Port Severn, sees runners jog legs of the 700-kilometre trek along the Trent-Severn Waterway and Rideau Canal to finish in Ottawa.
The run supports the Mood Disorders Society of Canada, a voluntary health charity that raises awareness and support for issues related to mental health and mental health illness.
The run was launched in 2015 by Clay Williams and has grown each year. This year’s event has 40 runners registered.
