About Chris

Chris Owens was a runner from the time he knew how to walk. Whether he was travelling across the globe from the Australian beaches to the Rocky Mountains, or in his hometown of Waterdown, Ontario, Chris always found time for a run. Through every phase of his life no matter how challenging, dark, or painful, he would pick himself up, get outside and run as far as he possibly could. Living in constant uncertainty, this was his consistent therapy that never wavered.

On August 20th, 2021 at the age of 26 years old, Chris lost his battle with mental health and addiction. The commitment to his fight, his vulnerability with others and the obstacles he overcame in coming out about his sexuality has left a lasting impact on our community. He will forever be remembered as the most passionate, energetic, loving human being that anyone has ever known, stranger or family. His humour was unmatched, and his presence was undeniable. With 300 people attending his funeral including individuals from across the world, Chris truly touched the life of everyone he met.
