The Muddy River Run event includes a 10K competitive Run, 5K Run, Walk or Urban Pole, and 5k Family Fun Run. All funds raised from this event will remain in the area serving the citizens of Chatham-Kent. Participant’s entry fee and monies raised will be split with 75% of funds raised going to VON programs and 25% going to the participant’s registered, non-profit charity of choice.

VON would be grateful if you helped promote a healthier community by being part of our Muddy River Run Event. By coming on board as a participant, by spreading the word or by sponsoring a participant in the Muddy River Run, you will show the residents of Chatham-Kent that you care about their health and well being.

Temperatures may vary at this time of year and it may rain, so come prepared to enjoy a Spring day in Chatham! Along the route there are beautiful homes owned by Chatham residents that back onto the river, so let’s be respectful of their land and help promote a clean and green race.


The VON will direct your donation to the registered charity that you designate.
