About this race
Race Around the Place is Carleton Place’s own community-driven run event, designed to bring people together in celebration of active living, local pride, and small-town charm. Hosted by a dedicated volunteer team, this not-for-profit event features three distances—a Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K—welcoming everyone from first-time racers to seasoned athletes. The scenic routes showcase the best of Carleton Place and surrounding areas, with a mix of historic downtown streets, tranquil river views, and lush trail segments. Proceeds from the race will directly support our local food bank, The Hunger Stop, making every stride count toward a stronger, more connected community.
The event will take place on Saturday, October 24th, with staggered race start times to ensure a smooth experience for runners and volunteers alike. The Half Marathon will kick off at 9:00 AM, followed by the 10K at 9:15 AM, and the 5K at 9:30 AM. Runners are encouraged to stick around after their race to explore downtown Carleton Place, cheer on fellow participants, and support the local businesses that make this town great.
