Local Special Olympics athletes are benefiting from a run/walk event this weekend.
The second annual Hometown Run for Youth Special Olympics features 1 km, 5 km and 10 km events.
It’s taking place on Sunday at the North Bay Museum, with the opening ceremony beginning at 8:30 am.
Officials say last year’s inaugural event was a success both financially and with raising awareness about Youth Special Olympics programming locally.
Funds raised go towards sponsoring local Special Olympics Athletes so their fees and registration costs can be covered throughout the upcoming competition season.
