Wanna experience the Canadian Open like a gold pro? Well, not exactly. Participate in a 5K running or walking, experiencing a PGA TOUR Championship-ready golf course, before finishing alongside the iconic 18th green. The route is flat with no big uphills or downhills, and is run 100% along the cart paths. It is an equally great route for those trying to set their personal best, and for those that want to take a nice stroll in a nice setting. In addition to the 5K run, participants are invited to enjoy live coverage of The British Open Championship on large screens, and relax post-race in the Coors Light Beer Gardens.
