Join the Brock University team at the Rankin Run May 23.

Lace up those runners and join Brock’s team for the 10th annual Rankin Cancer Run happening on May 23 in St. Catharines.

Students, staff and faculty are invited participate with Brock’s team in the event. Visit the Rankin Cancer Run’s website to sign up as a member of the Brock University crew.

Participants can walk or run the five-kilometre route along the Welland Canal. There is also a one-kilometre event. For those who prefer to donate instead, visit the Student Life and Involvement Commons (MCA204).

More than 270 teams and 12,000 participants competed in the run last year. The run has raised $4,654,000 for local cancer support organizations over the past nine years. A Brock team has participated every year since the run began. The University intends to continue this tradition to help achieve the goal of $1 million raised this year.

The run begins at 10:00 a.m. at the Grantham Lions Club (Niagara Street and Parnell Road). Please arrive for 9:00 a.m. to register. Registration for students costs $10 and $20 for all other participants. This includes a free t-shirt and complimentary barbecue lunch.
