HoHoHoliday 5k - Virtual Edition
DECEMBER 1- 31 2023
The HoHoHoliday 5K is the most festive FUN run in Canada! This 5km run/walk combines the magic of the Holidays with community engagement and fitness. Be apart of a holiday movement and join 10,000 Santa’s virtually across Canada who are spreading cheer in their local community while choosing to raise funds to support Make-A-Wish Canada.

This is a fun and active way for families and friends to come together, dress up as Santa and celebrate the Holiday Season in a meaningful way... And oh ya, this is a FUN RUN so you can take your time, set a new world record, walk it, or jog it... Just make sure to take a picture of you and your crew in that awesome Santa suit! #HoHoHoliday5k

Our National Charity Partner - Make-A-Wish® Canada
We are excited to once again partner with Make-A-Wish®️ Canada to help raise funds to grant life-changing wishes across Canada. To date, we’ve raised almost $300,000 for Make-A-Wish Canada through our important national partnership.
Every hour, three new children are facing critical illnesses. A wish plays an integral part of a child’s treatment journey with research showing children who have a wish granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness. Make-A-Wish Canada’s goal is to bring every eligible child’s wish to life, and across the country, there are thousands of wishes waiting to be granted.
When you help grant a wish, you give a gift that keeps on giving. Your support brings hope to children and their families for a better day, and creates positive, lasting memories. Together, you can make an impact in helping to grant wishes across Canada and in your community.
