Fort Town Night Run 2024: STAR WARS theme: Prescott Rebels

After 8 years and over 1700 runners raising over $ 40,000 for local charities, the Fort Town Night Run will hold its final event on May 4th, 2024 in Prescott.

The final year of the Run, it once again falls on May 4th, so since the Start Wars theme was so popular in the past, the organizers decided to embrace it once again. Along with the races, there will be Star Wars reenactors, costume contests, food vendors, and music by Mystery Machine DJ Service.

This year, the Kids 1K Fun Run will have 4 age categories and distances: 5 & under run 50 m, 6-7 run 100 m, 8-9 run 200 m, and 10-13 years old have a 1 km route around the perimeter of Fort Wellington property. Youth participants all receive a medal and there are prizes for the first-place finisher.

There will be a 5k Walk/Run, a 10K and a 15K Run. The 15K leaves the Leo Boivin Community Centre at 8:00 pm, the 10K at 8:10 pm, and the 5K at 8:20 pm and all runs follow the scenic and historic loop around Prescott, including the Heritage Waterfront Trail, Riverwalk Park, Centennial Park, and about 40 heritage houses and landmarks in town.
