The 39th annual Barrie Fun Run is in the books, and by all accounts, it was a night to remember. On May 27th, the Barrie waterfront came alive with runners, walkers, volunteers, and supporters who showed up to do what this event has always done best: bring the community together around something that matters. The kids’ race drew its usual crowd of smiling faces, the waterfront energy was electric, and the spirit that has kept this event going for nearly four decades was very much present.
None of it happens without the people behind it. Bob Greer and his team were thanked at a recent Club meeting for another job well done, and the appreciation was well earned. Organizing an event of this scale takes months of planning, a small army of volunteers, and the kind of commitment that doesn’t show up in the race results but makes everything else possible.
Every dollar raised goes directly back into local programs and causes right here in Barrie. Thirty-nine years in, the Fun Run is as much a part of this city as the waterfront it runs along. See you at number 40!
