Cobble Beach Lighthouse Fun Run 2026
The Cobble Beach Lighthouse Fun Run takes place Sunday, April 26, 2026 in Kemble, Ontario, and is organized by Cobble Beach. This single-day spring running event brings together families and local runners for a relaxed fundraiser on the grounds of Cobble Beach Golf Links.
The event program includes a Kids’ 1 km Fun Run at 12:30 PM, followed by the 5 km Timed Run / Jog / Walk and the 10 km Timed Run, both starting at 1:00 PM. Every paid participant receives a bib and timing chip and a participation medal, and prizes are awarded to the top three finishers in the timed events.
What sets this run apart is its setting and community focus: the route winds through Cobble Beach’s scenic trail system and golf cart paths, starting at the Wedding Lawn (between holes 9 and 18) and finishing at the iconic Cobble Beach Lighthouse. Post-race perks include a complimentary beverage at the finish courtesy of Three Sheets Brewing for participants 19+, a social hour with additional BBQ items and drinks available for purchase, and proceeds directed to the YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Grey, Bruce and West Simcoe.
Registration is available through Race Roster, with advance packet pick-up at the Guest Services Desk on April 24–25 (10:00 AM–7:00 PM) and race-day registration beginning at 11:00 AM at the Cobble Beach Pavilion.
