A once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of a journey you could have only dreamed of is now a reality.
The coveted adventure to run across Canada is no longer reserved for a few lucky ones.
The Big Canada Run is a virtual team run from St. John’s, NL to Victoria, BC, and everything in between covering 8000KM. Assemble a team (as big or small as you want) and be part of this amazing journey.
Your team has until Canada Day 2021 (July 1st) to complete the 8,000K adventure – Run, walk, hike – it can all count towards your team’s distance.
And you can make your achievement mean something even more by donating and helping raise funds for one of our three supported charities.
Our experienced race organizers will be with you every step of the way! We’ll set up ways for you to stay connected with your team, highlight noteworthy portions of the virtual routes you are completing, and keep track of all the results at the end of each day. Who knew that social distancing could be so much fun!
