Super Heroes Run 2023

The Super Heroes (staff) of Pembroke Fitness Centre were excited to be a part of the Super Hero Run for Cancer Care, May 6th downtown Pembroke. To many of our members, Pembroke Fitness Centre trainers are Super Heroes everyday in the gym so it was fitting to assume these roles in a fundraiser. Additionally, since 1995, our team has proudly raised well over $500,000 for various fundraising events. It is our passion to help build a better community in and around The Ottawa Valley.

Zombie Thrill Run 2016 Participant Results

The Pembroke Fitness Centre’s 4th annual Zombie Thrill Run 2016 was a great day. With more zombies, more participants and [if it’s possible] even more fun, this Zombie Thrill Run we hope will be remembered as a fun-filled day for all! Our goal was to raise $25,000 for Carfor’s Mental Health unit in Pembroke. Thanks to your care and support, we raised very close to our goal. Thank you for making our event such a great success!
