Race for Kids

Grown-ups Play. Kids Win!

What is it?

Race for Kids is an urban adventure race where teams of four compete in a race to the finish line, completing a series of 10 challenging Checkpoints along the way. The race is designed to challenge the mind and body, relive the best times of your childhood and build team spirit. Checkpoint locations are a secret until you arrive on race day!

Why is it needed?

Funds raised will help support BGC Winnipeg in leveling the playing field so more children and youth have opportunities for bright futures. Our services include after-school drop-ins, environmental programs, nutritious snacks and meals, education programming, organized sports, leadership development and family events for children and youth who need our help the most in Winnipeg.

Prizes will be awarded to teams who come in first, second, and third place; as well, WestJet will award the top fundraiser a trip for two to anywhere WestJet flies!
