The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Walkabout program is proud to support the SOLD OUT Sole Sisters Women’s Race . This event celebrates the strength of female walkers and runners and the lifelong friendships developed through participating in physical activity.
Males are encouraged to volunteer at the race in lots of fun capacities or cheer along the route and join the post-race party. This race is to celebrate women but we still want guys involved in helping and celebrating! The race will take place Saturday, June 7th at 6pm at Dartmouth Crossing.
