Announcing the ROUGE-A-THLON!

The Rouge-A-thlon begins at 8AM, starting with a 5K run, followed by a 10K bike ride, followed by a second 5K run to the finish line.
That's 20 kilometers around Rouge Park's stunning paved pathways and and winding roads. Proceeds from this event go toward Friends of Rouge Park to maintain its active infrastructure.
