The Wellington Warrior Challenge is not your typical charity run.
The Canadian Cancer Society is putting together a boot camp type race equipped with 12 to 15 different obstacles including mud pits, rope walls and cargo nets. All proceeds will go towards cancer research.
The five-km run is designed to test resilience, strength, stamina, camaraderie and mental toughness, a news release said.
The event will take place on Oct. 20 at Cox Creek Cellars on 7687 Wellington Rd. 22. People can register online at cancer.ca/wellingtonwarriorchallenge. The cost of registration is cheaper if people sign up before Sept. 25.
Men and woman of all fitness levels are welcomed to come out, but they must be 16 or older to race.
