Achilles St. Patrick’s Day Run, Toronto, ON

Gord and I did the 5km walk in the Achilles St. Patrick’s Day Race this morning. 

The annual Achilles St. Patrick’s Day Run/Walk is Achilles Canada's only fundraiser of the year supporting athletes with both physical and mental needs, and is a run or walk through the heart of downtown Toronto.

We'd picked up our race kit on Friday.

The starting point was near the CN Tower.

Here are Gord and I ... we're ready to go!

And we're off!

Halfway!

One more km to go!

The end ... whoohoo!

Here we are with our medals ... which is also a bottle opener!

Afterwards, there was a ceremony with prizes given out to the fastest runners.

You could grab a sandwich ... there were a few varieties to choose from.

Plus everyone was invited to have a glass of Steam Whistle beer ... it was tasty after the walk!
