It is with deep regret that the Prescott Fort Town Night Run events on September 26 and 27 have been cancelled and converted to a virtual run.  The organizers of the fundraising run had created an event with extensive safety protocols in place for participants and volunteers that was approved by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Health Unit in June 2020.  However, due to recent spikes in COVID-19 cases in Ottawa and Toronto, The Health Unit and Town of Prescott expressed concern with the number of participants from these areas spending time in Prescott, and requested new additional measures that were not possible with the financial and volunteer resources at our disposal.  The difficult decision was made to cancel the in-person event.

All of those registered will still receive the medal, t-shirt, and headlamp for the 2020 event, as well as a SWAG bag with items from our generous community partners.  They are encouraged to run in the location of their choosing, and to send us their personal times and photos.  Our Community Spirit award is being converted into the Virtual Spirit Award for the participants who send us the best photo of their running spirit.  The Team Spirit Award will also be chosen this way.  The Business Spirit Award is going ahead as planned, to the best decorated business in the area.

Our beautiful race course in Prescott and Cardinal-Edwardsburg will be filmed and sent to the registered participants to enjoy.  There is still time for anyone who would like to sign up for the virtual run, which closes on September 27, 2020.  www.forttownnnightrun.com  The funds raised will still be distributed this year to local youth programming.  The organizers are deeply grateful to all the officials, volunteers, sponsors, businesses, and community supporters for all the hard work and contributions toward this event.
