WEST ISLAND KIDS HELPING WEST ISLAND KIDS

Cedar Park Heights in Pointe-Claire Will be Transformed Into a 1 km Obstacle Course Fun Run

THE RACE IS ON RAIN OR SHINE! SEE YOU THERE. OBSTAFUN invites kids to take part in an obstacle course that is designed specifically for them by kids just like them. Hosting the race in Cedar Park Heights in Pointe-Claire will offer a safe environment (no car traffic) and the path ensures that no one gets lost.

Half the 20 obstacles are set up in the woods while the rest of the race takes place in the adjacent field. Kids of all ages are welcome to OBSTAFUN; our obstacles are geared towards kids less than 12 years of age.

WHAT THE GROWN-UPS NEED TO KNOW

Before registering for the race

3 – 12 YEARS OLD

All children are welcome. Children under 6 years old must be accompanied by an adult.

1 km – 20 OBSTACLES

The goal is to be inclusive for as many children as possible. All obstacles are low to the ground. Most children will be able to go through every obstacle. The younger ones may need hand holding.

9 a.m. – 12 p.m.

In order to limit bottlenecks at the obstacles, children will leave in waves every 10 minutes. Children can do the course as often as they want. However, priority will be given to those who haven’t had a turn yet.

10 sponsors

And counting… We’re trying to give back as much as we can to Community Shares, a local non-profit organization that supports 40 community groups in the West Island. If you would like to sponsor our race, contact us!

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

This fun run is a community fundraising event benefiting:

Community Shares Supports 40 Community Groups in the West Island

In our first edition last year, we were able to give back $4175 to Community Shares. Our goal is to do even better this year!

Did you know that there are more than 50,000 West Islanders in need? Of those, half are children or youth under the age of 25.

These children have real and pressing needs. They deal with hunger, cancer, poverty, depression and suicidal thoughts, autism, bullying, substance abuse and more. This is why we chose to give back to Community Shares.

WHAT KIDS WANT TO KNOW

Come have fun with us! We will transform Cedar Park Heights into a great obstacle course fun run. The goal is to make sure that everyone who comes has fun! Most children will be able to go through every obstacle. If you are younger than 6 years old, a grown-up must be with you to hold your hand if you need to.
