GSO will host classical 5km walk on July 13

The Guelph Symphony Orchestra is hosting its first annual Guelph Classical 5km walk on July 13 at 8:30pm.

The fundraising race is an opportunity to support the orchestra, while joining musicians and community members on a summer evening run or walk.

The course which begins at the Guelph Youth Music Centre, passes through the Homewood grounds and returns through the Trans-Canada trail.

The soundtrack as walkers pass through the fast, flat course will be live musicians – a soloist at 1km, a duet at 2km, a trio at 3km, a quartet at 4km and a big band at the end.

Organizers say everyone from seasoned veterans to those who have never run or walked a 5km race, or are somewhere in between are in for a unique treat.

Racers should arrive at 7:00 pm for an 8:30 start. There will be entertainment after registration.
