RIGHT RUN 2022 – NEED TO KNOW

After two virtual years, BRIGHT Run #15 returned to the original in-person format. We couldn’t have been happier! Here is some of the info that participants needed to know for their event day planning:

Bring

• Rain gear, regardless of the forecast. Also, protect all electronic devices; resealable plastic bags work well.
• A hat, sunscreen and water bottle, as well as a backpack to carry your stuff, plus any purchases you make on-site.
• Some cash and credit/debit cards. There will be food and pink merchandise available for purchase, and you may be the highest bidder on some silent auction items.
• A wagon or stroller for young children.
• Your leashed, well-behaved dog. Remember to bring some poop bags too.

Don’t Bring

• Feather boas. They shed feathers that harm the conservation area’s natural environment. Try leis instead.
• Bicycles, roller blades, skateboards or scooters. Only medical mobility devices are permitted.

Parking

• There is parking on-site at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area on a first come, first served basis.
• Watch for our parking attendants at the front gate for instructions.
  If you are not able to get a spot on-site, don’t worry. We have lots of parking at Sir William Osler Elementary School (330 Governor’s Road) and Dundas Valley Secondary School (310 Governor’s Road). There will be free shuttles running from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 pm to get you to and from the trail centre pathway.
• For patrons with Ontario Disability permits, we have reserved a number of spots on-site at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area. We also have golf carts to help you travel from the main parking lot to the trail centre.

Stuff To Do

• Check in at the registration area beside, hand in your paperwork and pick up your event t-shirt.
• Visit the exhibits, children’s tent, silent auction, and pink gear tent.
• Get your picture and team picture taken.
• Keep an eye out for some surprise visitors!

Safety Notes

• Masks and hand sanitizer will be available at a variety of locations on site. Be considerate of others during your walk, run or stroll. We want everyone to have a fun day.
• First aid volunteers (healthcare workers and nurses) will be strategically positioned along the trails as well as in the first aid tent. First aid responders can be identified by their light blue volunteer t-shirts as well as a black or blue backpack with the red first aid logo.

We can’t wait to see you in 2023! Let’s have some BRIGHT, pink fun!
