Meaford Harbour 5K Run/Walk

The 30th Anniversary of the Meaford Harbour 5K Run/Walk is more than celebration of a beloved community tradition, it's a testament to Meaford's unwavering commitment to local healthcare. What began as the Big Apple Race in the late 1970s, evolved, adapted, and ultimately flourished into the eent we know today: a signature fundraiser supporting Brightshores Meaford Hospital Foundation and a cherished annual gathering that brings together families, athletes, volunteers, and supporters from across the region.

Over 29 years, this event has raised more than $1.15 million for essential hospital equipment and priority needs. That remarkable total reflects thousands of individual contributions, countless volunteer hours, and a community that shows up, year after year, to strengthen local healthcare close to home.

Today, the Meaford Harbour 5K Run/Walk stands as one of Meaford's most enduring and successful Hospital Foundation fundraisers. An event built by many hands, guided by passionate volunteers, and sustained by a community that believes deeply in accessible, modern healthcare.

As they mark the 30th anniversary, they honour the past, embrace the present, and look ahead with optimism. This year's Run/Walk promises to be one of the most memorable yet.
