WEST ISLAND KIDS HELPING WEST ISLAND KIDS

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

Obstacle or fun races are extremely popular – think of Spartan Race, Foam Fest, or Color Me Rad, to name a few. Since none of these races are being held in the West Island of Montreal, we believe there is a great opportunity to host one right here in Pointe-Claire, and make it a fundraising event.

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.

WHAT THE GROWN-UPS NEED TO KNOW

Before registering for the race

3 – 13 YEARS OLD

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

1 km – 15 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. Note: 9 a.m. wave start will be reserved for children under 6 yrs old and their siblings.

8 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!

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.
