Due to popular demand, our Amped Series races will begin at 6:30pm now - not 6:00pm.

Thanks!

Due to the weather we’ve had for the past month, the Amped Series has been delayed one week. The high gusts of wind and heavy rainfall has caused us to remove large fallen trees and rework our trails to ensure a safe and pleasurable experience.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Guest Services at: 519.894.5610

Sorry for the inconvenience, we’ll see you next week!

On November 1st, Chicopee embarked on a mission to raise awareness and money for Prostate Cancer Research. Many employees put their razors away and started a journey filled with itchy lips and and playful ribbing. Along with many businesses and organizations in the Kitchener/Waterloo Region, Chicopee was committed to the cause and to bring awareness to a cancer that affects 1 in 6 men.

Many Chicopee employees campaigned for support and raised $1560 towards Prostate Cancer Research. On November 28th, Chicopee hosted the End-of-Movember party for the entire region. A video recap is found below.

Thank you for your support, thank you for taking part in Movember, thank you for raising awareness of Prostate Cancer. We look forward taking part in this cause next year!
