Bumrun Halifax 2023

Join us on Sunday, May 7th, 2023 for the 1st annual Bumrun!

Registration closes at midnight on Wednesday, May 3rd

Who are we?

Bumrun is a charity that raises awareness of colon cancer screening and prevention. For 12 years, we have organized 5K walk/run events and raised more than $935,000 net for various colon cancer charity organizations. Our funds go toward colon cancer research, enhancing patient support programs for families living with colon cancer, and raising awareness of colon cancer screening and prevention.

Bumrun has partnered with not-for-profit Colorectal Cancer Resource & Action Network (CCRAN), whose mission is to support, educate, and advocate for colorectal cancer patients and their caregivers.

Canada has one of the highest colon cancer rates in the world, affecting 1 in 16 Canadians. But if everyone got screened, 90% of deaths could be prevented.

We are excited to be hosting our first ever Bumrun in Halifax! So get ahead of your behind and join us this Bumrun!
