Some participants brought their dogs out for the event, to enjoy the fresh air and the five kilometre course.

The Eckville River Run is celebrated its five-year anniversary Sept. 28.

Despite the colder weather, many participants came out to enjoy the obstacle course which changes each year.

This year, registration for the event was halved, with participants paying only $5 to register, instead of the regular $10.

In the past, Franklin-Law has called the event “good family fun exercise.”
