Operation Smile Canada

Make this the year you cruise to the finish line knowing you have achieved a huge personal goal, fueled by the joy in knowing funds raised will deliver NEW forever smiles to patients with cleft conditions who would otherwise go without.

Operation Smile is a global medical charity providing free surgery for patients born with cleft lip and/or cleft palate. Surgery to repair a child’s cleft condition takes, on average 45 minutes, and can cost as little at $240. This is possible thanks to caring Canadian partners, the generous contributions of global medical volunteers, and corporate partners that donate the critical supplies and equipment necessary to deliver safe surgery. Gather your family and friends and RACE virtually for SMILES! 

This event features distances for everyone (full & half marathon, 10K, 5K & 2K) and is family and walker-friendly. Choose your distance, select Operation Smile Canada as your official charity, and start raising funds and awareness today!
