Posted: May 1, 2026

One afternoon. Multiple ways to take part in the Hike for Hospice.

Join us this Sunday, May 3rd in Hanover for a Hike for Hospice that’s anything but ordinary.

Running from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. at the Hanover P&H Centre (269 7th Avenue), the Hanover event kicks off with energy right from the start. At 1:00 P.M.  Town Crier, Jenn Olivero will get things underway, followed by a Lift Fitness Studio warm-up to get everyone moving.

From there, it’s your kind of afternoon—choose your pace, your activity, and how you want to take part:

Take a dip in the pool with a free public swim (donations appreciated)
Head out for a walk—indoors on the track or outside through the neighbourhood
Spend time in the Family Fun Zone, featuring Yoga Barn yoga, colouring, games, and a construction-themed photo booth

Feeling ambitious? Enter the Hike Triathlon Challengeswim, walk, and complete a circuit on indoor dryland training equipment for a fun twist on the day.

There’s plenty happening off the trail too:

Enjoy a BBQ by donation hosted by the Hanover Lions Club
Browse and bid at the Silent Auction (open until 2:30 P.M.)—cash preferred, with items paid for and picked up by 3:00 P.M.
