Linden Woods Fall Classic : About

The Linden Woods Fall Classic is accredited by the Manitoba Runners’ Association and has been designated as the Asics Grand Prix Championship Race. Due to the high safety and service standards met by the Linden Woods Fall Classic, our event continues to be classified as a Gold Level Event.

The goals of the Linden Woods Fall Classic are two-fold:

  • The Linden Woods Fall Classic is a community-building event that encourages participation in running and walking, and promoting a healthy life-style while having fun!
  • Funds raised through the Fall Classic will be used to enhance the playground and park area surrounding the school.

Future Projects!

play structureThe objective of the LWFC is to beautify and develop the park and playground around Ecole Van Walleghem School. The play structures that we have installed, and continue to develop are for everyone in the community to use and enjoy. Thanks to the generous donations from our community sponsors (see HOME page) and Fall Classic participants, we have raised and contributed over $43,000 to the playground and park development over our five year history. Of these funds, $30,000 went toward the purchase and installation of the EVOS structure. The remainder of these funds ($13,000) is earmarked for Phase Two of the park enhancement projects. The primary goal of Phase Two is the addition of the Spacenet climbing unit to the EVOS play structure (bottom picture). Our projected cost for this unit is $31,000, so we’re well on our way!

But that isn’t all; Phase Two also includes the following projects:

  • Landscaping, including planting of shade trees and seating areas throughout the park
  • An outdoor classroom
  • Tether ball games
