The Great Rural Race 2024: A Sold-Out Success for Community and Charity

On September 22, 2024, the RHA community gathered in Ardrossan, Alberta, for The Great Rural Race. Now in its third year, this inclusive event was organized by a small and mighty group of community volunteers and sponsored by the Ardrossan Recreation & Agricultural Society. It brought together runners, walkers, and rollers of all ages in support of the Robin Hood Association.

What started as a casual lunchtime walking group called "Walk O'Clock" has grown into a community-wide event. This year's sold-out race featured 200 participants and raised an impressive $6,121.88 to support RHA’s vital programs and services.

The event was fun for all ages, with a Kidzone and Market adding to the festive atmosphere. Special thanks to Chelsea, Nicoll, Jenae, and our generous sponsors at ARAS for their dedication to fostering a more inclusive and supportive community.

Thank you to everyone who participated—your support means the world to us!
