Who We Are
It started with three people taking a walk...
​
Waterloo Region Crossing is a not-for-profit endurance events organization. We coordinate endurance events to raise awareness about pressing local issues, and to invite our fellow community members to walk the walk, demonstrating our commitment to improving quality of life for everyone in our community.
​
We coordinate two events:
Our winter trek (The Crossing Trek) is a pilgrimage across Waterloo Region to raise awareness about the risks of exposure for homeless citizens.
​
Our summer event (Race Across Waterloo Region *RAWR*) is a multisport adventure race designed to generate dialogue on the state of women's safety in our community, and to introduce more women to adventure sport.
