Crohn’s and Colitis Canada

Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is the only national, volunteer-based charity focused on finding the cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improving the lives of children and adults affected by these diseases. We are one of the top two health charity funders of Crohn’s and colitis research in the world, investing over $127 million in research since 1974. We are transforming the lives of people affected by Crohn’s and colitis through research, patient programs, advocacy, and awareness.

2023 marks the 10th anniversary for our team. We have raised over $192,000 since 2013 and are the only charity that has participated in each year of the challenge. We invite all Canadians to run with us in one of the great race weekends of the year. Enter the distance of your choice, set your fundraising goal, and prepare for a great race experience. By running with us and our Guts to Run team, you will make a difference in the lives of the 1 in 140 Canadians living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
