On Sunday, March 12, some past and present National Staff members met with TeamHD registered participants to shamROCK the Achilles St. Patrick's Day 5K run/walk through the heart of downtown Toronto.
For months leading up to the race, people registered with various charities to participate in the race. Our team registered through TeamHD to raise money for the Huntington Society of Canada while aiming for our St. Patrick's themed incentives such as a green gear kit, tie-dyed t-shirts and more.
After all the fundraising and preparation, we all braved the bitter cold and enjoyed the scenic route. At the end of the race, we devoured a hot bowl of Irish chili and an ice-cold Steam Whistle beverage while listening to some Irish entertainment and celebrating participant awards.
It was a great experience seeing everyone decked out in their St. Patrick's themed running gear and enjoying this unique event. Thanks to all who participated, we raised a total of $$2,835 with 16 participants!
We can't wait for next year!
This race kicked off the variety of events TeamHD is involved with this year in locations across Canada. TeamHD is the Huntington Society of Canada's group of participants who register, fundraise for and complete marathons in various locations across Canada throughout the year.
