Run For Palestine 10k

Vancouver's 1st 10k Run/Walk for Palestine

Welcome to Vancouver's 1st ever 10km Run for Palestine!

Run for Palestine is a fun friendly event bringing runners and walkers together to help raise donations in support for the Children of Palestine. The goal: to help provide children impacted by war, displacement, and injury an opportunity to once again feel like children by providing them the necessary essentials that all kids deserve including shoes, clothing, stationary and sports equipment.


Why is this important?

Sadly, children growing up in Palestine have never known a life without the threat of violence and conflict. Such cumulative trauma can have a profound impact on a child's emotional and cognitive development unless they are given a chance to recover. Let's try to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian children living with Depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).


Post Run?

Following the run, we will unite around English Bay (TBC) where we will all come together for refreshments, snacks, and the opportunity to connect with fellow participants and the community. Let us run together to demonstrate the compassion and love of the Vancouver community!


**Note:

  1. This event will be capped at 75 registrants
  2. Each registered participant will receive an exclusive Run Pack! This will include a Free Palestine tote bag, a Palestine PIN, a Save Palestine Bracelet, thermal socks and a surprise item we will leave for later :)
  3. Money will be held until the proceeds in FULL can be transferred to Gaza
