BIMBO Global Race for food banks slated for Ashbridges Bay Park this Sunday

Ashbridges Bay Park will be the place to be on Sunday, Sept. 28, as the 10th annual BIMBO Global Race will be taking place.

The Toronto version of the event will help collect food donations for the North York Harvest Food Bank.

The run takes place on the same day in more than 20 countries and helps generate donations to food banks in the cities the race is held. Grupo BIMBO, the parent company of Canadian bakery Dempsters, will donate 20 slices of bread to the North York Harvest Food Bank for each participant in the race taking place at Ashbridges Bay Park.

Along with the run for a good cause, the event at Ashbridges Bay Park will include activities for kids, board games, a photo booth, paint station, tattoo station and samples from BIMBO bakeries including Dempsters, Stonemill, Little Bites, Takes, Hostess and more. Since the Toronto run began, more than 300,000 slices of bread have been donated to local food banks.

Event time on Sunday is from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Sunday’s BIMBO Global Race events at Ashbridges Bay Park will include a three-kilometre walk, a five-kilometre run, and a 10-kilometre timed race.
