Thunder Bay Waterfront Trail Roll & Stroll celebrates community, movement, connection, and place, inviting people of all ages and abilities to get outside and experience Thunder Bay’s waterfront in a new way

Set along the shores of Lake Superior, this 4km round-trip event brings people together to walk, wheel, or run the trail, highlighting the importance of accessible, active spaces that support healthier people, stronger communities, and a deeper connection to the land and water that define our city.
