King Street Pharmacy Run for the Shelters presented by Fredericton Marathon is back!
The King Street Pharmacy Run for The Shelters presented by Fredericton Marathon is an untimed event designed to support the Fredericton Homeless Shelters and its mission to restore human dignity to those who are experiencing homelessness. It will feature a fundraising 3k, 5k and 8k run/walk on Sunday, November 23, 2025.
We firmly believe no one should be left out in the cold.
Speaking of the cold, this year, the Fredericton Homeless Shelters is putting out a call for hand warmers, gloves and good insulated work gloves (small, medium and large). They’ll make sure they are put to good use this winter and these items will help someone in need. So grab some gloves and mittens and bring them to the race kit pick up.
Registration is a minimum donation of $25 to The Shelters plus processing fees. Your registration fee will go directly to Fredericton Homeless Shelters Inc., with your registration information shared for tax receipt purposes only. **The first 200 registered participants will receive a commemorative swag item**
