Event Information

Beat Beethoven 2021

For over 25 years, thousands of participants have challenged themselves to finish an 8 km race or a 4 km fun run/walk through downtown Kingston before the Kingston Symphony has finished playing 50 minutes of Beethoven’s best music. Due to COVID-19 restrictions this year, Beat Beethoven 2021 is going virtual! For the entire month of June, register to run (or walk) your own route of either 8 km, 4 km or both, and you will receive a Beat Beethoven t-shirt. As a bonus for completing the 8 km distance, you will also receive a new Beat Beethoven medal! Children under 10 years of age can also participate in a 1 km virtual run and receive a Beat Beethoven ribbon.
