A community run for Niagara's hospitals
Run For Niagara is an annual 5K run and 2K run or walk held at the Niagara Floral Clock in Queenston, Ontario, in support of Niagara Health Foundation. Funds raised stay in the region and go toward the care Niagara families depend on.
Run For Niagara is open to everyone — every age, every pace, every background. Serious runners, first-timers, families with strollers. All of you.
Early bird pricing is open now and closes at the end of 1 October. From 2 October both distances return to full price, and it stays there right through to race morning. The current price and the price it changes to are both shown in the registration section below.
Registering takes about two minutes.
Choose your distance
Come as a team, chase a personal best, or make it a family goal. Well suited to first-time 5K runners: the course is flat, fully supported, and there is no time limit.
The shorter distance, and the most flexible. Run it if you want a quick, easy effort. Jog it at a conversational pace. Or stroll it with your family. Kids, grandparents, strollers — all welcome, all at your own pace.
Official Run For Niagara shirts
Official Run For Niagara 2026 shirts are available in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. Wear it on race day, and keep wearing it after.
Add one to your entry on the registration form — it is one extra click.
Shirts are an add-on rather than part of registration, and every one sold supports Niagara Health Foundation.

Bring people with you
The easiest way to make this run bigger is not to come alone. Start a team with your family, your workplace, your class or your congregation and register together under one name. Teams fundraise together and appear together on the event page.
Every participant also gets a personal fundraising page. Share it once and the donations do the rest — gifts made through it receive a tax receipt.
