Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent River Run

About the Event

The Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent River Run returns to Chatham, Ontario on September 20th, offering runners and walkers scenic routes along the Thames River.
Riverview Dr., just a short walk from downtown, serves as the starting point in Enbridge Parking Lot. The atmosphere is serene early Sunday morning with participants setting out into the crisp air of late summer. Runners can expect to encounter both gentle paths and riverfront sections where they'll run parallel to the Thames River's calm waters.
This event has been a cornerstone for local community support since 2014, growing in popularity each year. In its twelve years, thousands have participated, raising funds that help build affordable homes for families who dream of homeownership. The race offers not just physical challenges but also an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the community.
The course venue features a mix of flat and slightly undulating terrain with smooth pavement suitable for all runners and walkers. Runners in the half marathon will complete two loops around the river, offering both familiar scenery and new twists as they progress. The 10km run and walk starts and finishes at Riverview Dr., while participants completing the full marathon will loop back to the same location.
Weather on race day is expected to be mild with an average temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, ranging from a minimum of 14.2C to a maximum of 23.8C; it feels like 19 degrees due to humidity levels at 75.2%. A steady wind of around 11 kilometers per hour will be present throughout the race.
