Food Fighters Run For Charities
Donation protected
At Skjodt-Barrett Foods, we have evolved to become a leading supplier of food ingredients and consumers food products with manufacturing facilities located in both Brampton, and Lebanon, Indiana. Although much has changed over the past 30 years, our focus has not — we aim to enrich people's lives with great tasting, convenient, and healthy foods every day.
Our commitment to our people and our operating philosophies, as well as our continuous focus on technology, innovation and the highest quality standards are the pillars of our success.
Not all are fortunate enough to enjoy nutritious food on a daily basis…so how can you help?
On May 19th and 20th, 12 volunteers will be in the most incredible race of their lives. With little to no sleep this group will run from Coburg Ontario to Niagara Falls!
Reebok Ragnar Relay Niagara is a 300-ish kilometer running relay race through the most breathtaking parts of Ontario. The run will start on Friday May 19th, run through the night, and finish on Saturday May 20th. This running adventure kicks off in the quaint town of Cobourg. From there our team will conquer kilometers of rolling hills as they pass farmlands, beautiful vineyards and views of Lake Ontario from the Waterfront Trail. As night falls, electrified views of Toronto, stars, and runners with headlamps light up the night. Reebok Ragnar Niagara finishes at the majestic Niagara Falls where our team can admire the view and marvel at their grand accomplishment.
