Team up with Wellwood for our first VIRTUAL event, October 18 to 24.
Walk, run, wheel, cycle, swim, skip, dance – even hula – ALL WEEK LONG for Wellwood.
Set your personal, team or family goal and invite friends to sponsor you as you track your own successes each day. Together, we can also raise awareness for colorectal and those other cancers that not enough people will talk about.
These are very challenging times for charities and this is our biggest fundraiser of the year.
WE NEED YOU more than ever!

Participant Information
Wondering How This Works?
ANYTHING GOES! We want to encourage you to set some personal wellness goals, virtually gather your friends and family to cheer you on, and help you to raise money for a wonderful cause. (Remember to track your success and report back through social media to tell your “athletic supporters” how you are doing!)
Looking for inspiration? Here are just a few examples of person, family and team goals:
- Walk, run or wheel 5 or 10 km once that week, the distances we do every year on race day at Mac.
- Walk, run or wheel a marathon distance split up over the course of an entire week, 6.3 km every day for 7 days.
- Try a different exercise every day – swim on Sunday, bike on Monday, Zumba on Tuesday, run on Wednesday, skip on Thursday, hula hoop on Friday and do yoga on Saturday.
- Got little ones? Walk, run or wheel together for 1 km every day for a week. Ask your neighbours to sponsor you and cheer enroute!
- Got a team? Choose one goal for everyone, or let each team member choose their own.
- Why not compete among friends? Challenge eachother to get those steps in, to hit the hiking trails in social-distance style, or to do a 7-day self-care challenge.
We realize it won’t be quite the same as the big, real, live, non-virtual day at McMaster. And yet, what is wonderful about this year’s 22nd annual event is that, – whether you are in Charlottetown or Chilliwack, Whitehorse or Windsor – you can kick cancer’s butt with Wellwood! THANK YOU!
