Blood, Sweat & Cheers!
Port Dover Health & Fitness Centre & Port Dover Chiropractic Centre hosted the third annual community fundraiser "Blood Sweat & Cheers Port Dover" on Saturday, June 17, 2017! This 5 km obstacle fun run resulted in all proceeds donated to Lakewood Elementary and St. Cecilia's for outdoor recreational equipment and refurbishments to the Todd Eaton Memorial track. Lakewood Elementary School staff, parents and students are truly grateful for this support. Thank YOU!
Running Club - Wednesdays 3:15 to 4:15pm
Our focus will be track training for sprints and long distance.
Students should have proper footwear - running shoes not board shoes. A light jacket or sweater is often needed and track pants, capris or soccer style shorts.
The Running Club maintains a supportive, non-competitive atmosphere which allows all levels of runners to develop their running.
Watch the newsletter for information and updates.
