CMV Canada Half Marathon

The CMV Canada Half Marathon, an annual event held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has a unique origin story. It emerged from the success of the "Run With Rob" event in May 2023, where Rob Tétrault accomplished an extraordinary feat by running 506 kilometres (in just 12 days!) from the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border to the Manitoba-Ontario border. This remarkable endeavour aimed to raise awareness for congenital CMV, the leading cause of infant disability in Canada.

The overwhelming support received during Run With Rob moved the organizers deeply. In response to the outpouring of encouragement, they decided to rename the leg of the run that passed through Winnipeg as the CMV Canada Half Marathon and host an annual event. This change allows them to sustain their mission of raising awareness about CMV and generating funds for the Canadian CMV Foundation.
