Run Ajax is a local 1k, 5km and 15km race raising funds in support of Grandview Kids. For the fourth year in a row, City Gates will be shutting the doors at St. Francis to serve the participants at Run Ajax on September 29, 2019.

Pick a zone, any zone.

Kids Zone

Engage with the children at the event through painting faces, facilitating games, colouring in, etc. We’d also need help with setting up shelters, tables & chairs.

Rotary Park
177 Lake Driveway West, Ajax, L1S 7J1

Fan Zones

Cheer runners on as they pass you. We’ll be playing happy music and hold up custom signage to boost their morale. We’d also need help with setting up shelters & audio equipment.

Arrival: 8:30am
Veteran’s Point
Cnr Harwood & Lake Driveway West

Pic Zone

Take before and after race photos with participants, posting the pictures directly to our facebook page where they can tag and share with their friends. Volunteers need smart phones with reasonably good cameras, and a data plan.

 WHAT TO BRING: 

  • Loads Of Energy: It’s going to be a busy morning so make sure you have eaten and had some coffee. Try bring a snack for later in the day.
  • Water: Stay hydrated, as cheering on the runners will definitely generate a thirst!
  • Fold-up Chair. For those moments in between cheering where no runners are in sight.
  • Warm Layers. The morning will likely be cold, so dress accordingly. Race happens rain or shine, so maybe have an umbrella / raincoat just in case…
  • Sun Screen: When the sun decides to show up, make sure you’re protected.
  • Bug Repellent: Just in case.

Let's do this!
