The event raises money for Victim Services of Kingston and Frontenac. To date the event has raised $5,346.60 for that agency. Victim Services is described as a 24/7 frontline organization that provides crisis intervention, emotional support, and practical help to people affected by crime, violence, and sudden tragedies, and works closely with police, fire, and EMS.
Race logistics include race kit pickup at the Lake Ontario Park Pavilion and an earlier pickup hosted by a local training partner. A Green Bib registration option directs $5 of the fee to Victim Services and does not include a medal or race t-shirt unless purchased. Every participant will receive a finisher medal while quantities last, and event photographers will be on site. Free street parking is available nearby and paid parking is offered at St. Lawrence College and Providence Care Hospital. Dogs and strollers are allowed only in the 2K event and are not permitted on the 5K or 10K courses. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
