The Rosy Rhubarb Walk / Run returns to Shedden, Ontario on Sunday, June 14, 2026. Set in the village at 9210 Union Road, this one-day spring event celebrates community running in a rural setting — think short distances and a festival atmosphere rather than a destination ultra. The listing frames the day as a local celebration with a light-hearted rhubarb theme that aims to bring neighbours and visiting runners together.
The event offers a mix of distances: a 1K Kids Fun Run, 5 km run (adult and student categories), a 5 km walk, and 10 km run options for both adults and students. All races take place on Sunday; specific start times are listed as TBC. The variety of distances makes the day suitable for families, students and recreational runners looking for a short, social race on country roads.
What sets Rosy Rhubarb apart is its small-town character. The organisers promote a community celebration feel, with routes that showcase Shedden’s picturesque countryside and a playful rhubarb theme woven through the day. The event listing also shows that listed entries are free and encourages participants with the promise that finishers can "earn your medal," underlining a laid-back, family‑friendly finish-line experience.
Registration is encouraged for anyone planning to attend — entries are shown on the event listing and runners are advised to sign up ahead of race day to secure their spot.
