September 26th
Terry Fox's 40th and AEP's 10th Anniversary Ride

To honour the 40th anniversary of the first Terry Fox Run and to mark 10 years since the Pontiac Equestrian Association was formed, the Pontiac Equestrian Association will host a fundraising ride for the Terry Fox Foundation as part of Pontiac’s #Try Like Terry initiative. The kilometres ridden by each rider will go towards helping the Pontiac team reach its goal of 5,373 kms. And we are asking all riders to bring a donation for the Terry Fox Foundation.
 The ride will start from 225 Pilon Rd, Luskville. Riders will have the option of a moderately challenging route or a route which includes some steep and challenging hills. Groups can ride within their own social bubble, heading out at intervals starting at 10 am. The ride is free for members, non-members can buy a day pass or a pass for the rest of the season. Please register your interest ahead of time by message or email at pontiacequestre@gmail.com
