Racing for Research

Racing for Research - Go Karting Event in Support of the Thalassemia Foundation of Canada

Join us for a thrilling day of Go Karting, and fun, while supporting a worthy cause! 

**Go Kart drivers must be a minimum of 14 years old**  

Participants will engage in a Grand Prix format, featuring 45 minutes of on-track driving time divided into three sessions: one practice round, one qualifying round, and one feature race.

Before the races commence, there will be a mandatory driver's meeting providing detailed instructions, particularly geared towards rookies and beginners. Sanitized and approved safety equipment will be provided, along with the use of high-performance racing karts.

Livia's Food Truck will be onsite, serving up delicious lunch options for all participants.

For those who prefer to spectate rather than race, you're welcome to join us at a reduced rate, which includes lunch.  Spectators age 6 and under are free. 

Participant Cost: $175 (includes 3 karting sessions and lunch) 

Spectator Cost: $50 (includes lunch)
