Napanee, ON – September 2, 2025 – The Lennox and Addington County General Hospital (LACGH) Foundation is proud to announce it will lead the 9th Annual Napanee Heritage Race on Saturday, June 13, 2026. This beloved tradition has become a cornerstone event in Greater Napanee, celebrating health, wellness, and community spirit.
For the past eight years, the race has been made possible thanks to the vision and dedication of community members including Heather Giffin, Erin Gregory, Tammy Pigion, and Tricia Cammaart. Their leadership established the event as a fun and meaningful way for families, friends, and neighbours to come together in support of a healthier community.
Looking ahead, the LACGH Foundation, together with race committee members Dr. Nicola Mathews, Dr. Sasha Kheyson, Dr. Samantha Britton, and Caleb Huard, will carry that legacy forward. By joining the Foundation’s family of signature events, the race will continue to grow while supporting the shared goal of keeping care and wellness close to home.
“The Napanee Heritage Race brings people together in such a powerful way,” said Amanda Chalk, Coordinator of Communications, Events, and Major Gifts at the LACGH Foundation. “It inspires healthy, active living while raising funds that benefit both our hospital and the wider community. We are grateful to the original organizers for building such a meaningful tradition, and we’re honoured to help it thrive for years to come.”
The Napanee Heritage Race will stay true to its roots, encouraging active living while supporting health and wellness initiatives in Greater Napanee and within the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital. Together, the community can ensure the race continues to make a lasting impact.
