Participants will still register on our website under Richmond Hill Run Site, get up on Sunday September 20th, lace up your running shoes and head out the door. But instead of driving to our beautiful permanent Mill Pond location you will walk, run, bike, hike, wheel a route of your choosing in your own neighborhood, safely. Our virtual Run mirrors the same passion for Terry, his mission, and your community as every one of the past 39 Runs. The difference: we will unite in spirit, not in person.
