Up and Running

Let’s give a big shout-out to all the winter warriors out there! 👏

Up and Running programs walk and run in all (safe) conditions, all year long, thanks to our incredible team of volunteers and wonderful participants. 🫶

If you’re looking to take some steps towards improving your mental wellbeing, check out our inclusive, non-competitive, and friendly programs this winter! We’re only in week 2, so there’s plenty of time to join! ☺️

We're a little late to the party, but World Food Day was October 16th!

The food choices you make impact your health and the environment around you! By choosing locally grown food, eating seasonal produce, adding more plant-based protein, and doing our best to reduce food waste, we can be stewards of the environment and our health.

Let's make good choices for ourselves and the environment!

October 10th is an international day to bring awareness to mental health.

Did you know: Community has a powerfully positive impact on mental health! Being a part of a group releases oxytocin, the “bonding hormone”, which increases a feeling of wellbeing and love.

These days, we need community more than ever, so we want to thank everyone involved in Up and Running for being a part of our community! 💚

Happy National Forest Week! From September 21 to 27 Guelph is celebrating trees and forests. 🌳
Fun fact: Forests can help increase focus and lower stress levels while strengthening the immune system. 🍁
We're so lucky Guelph has so many incredible green spaces to walk and run! 🌲
