Online registration is now open for the Niagara-on-the-Lake heritage trail committee’s 5K Fun Run/Walk and 2K Dog Walk.

The fundraiser is Sept. 24 but is limited to 150 runners/walkers and 50 dog-walkers. Cost is $45 per person, excluding a credit card fee.

Registration is open till Sept. 21 but also will be available on the day of the event – if all spots are not yet filled. Cost at the check-in is $60, cash only.

The run and walk along the Upper Canada Heritage Trail will raise money to help rehabilitate and preserve the historic route.

Each participant will receive a backpack, medal, water bottle and refreshments at the end of the race. Various prizes can be won.

The committee is looking forward to the run and for the community to play a part in protecting the trail, said spokesperson Tony Chisholm.
