Once again Fitness Corner is hosting their annual Reindeer Romp in support of mental health initiatives.

In a recent media release, organizers are asking participants to dress in their best reindeer outfit or come decked out in their favourite seasonal colours and join them for the 19th annual event.

Reindeer Romp is set to get underway at 9am on Sunday, December 24, 2023 at Fitness Corner, 497 Meadow Lane in Southampton, where participants can walk, jog or run a 2- or 5- kilometre route. Organizers stress that this is a participation event, not a race.

Entry is by donation with funds going in support of Bruce Shoreline, the Grey-Bruce branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), in particular initiatives such as the Social Recreation Program and the Community Kitchen. Tax receipts will be issued by CMHA Grey-Bruce.

Anyone wishing to donate can do so in person on December 24 or online at reindeerromp.ca.
