YMCA CHOK International Bridge Race - Volunteer today!
The YMCA CHOK International Bridge race has been a tradition in Port Huron & Sarnia for 38 years! The 10K race begins in Port Huron, Michigan and ends in Sarnia, Ontario after runners have crossed the Blue Water Bridge. With the addition of the 5K Fun Run/Walk and the FREE 1K Kids Run, the race committee is anticipating participation of 1000 runners! All proceeds from the race go to support the YMCA Annual Strong Kids Campaign.
The success of the race depends primarily on the support of volunteers. For all 3 races, there are many roles, many activities for volunteers!
