Relay for life event

Dress up in as much orange and blue as possible (have fun with it) We encourage students to wear sports uniforms if possible.

We have a team baton (Milo the monkey) that has to stay on track with someone at all times.

Brucefield Ave is the only entrance on the day, park near the vintage tractor area (there will be people there to direct you) or your car will be stuck there until the end of day if you park close to the track.
