Cupcake Run 2026
Sunday September 27, 2026 / 9:00 A.M. / Mississauga, ON
Run for a Cause, Stay for the Cupcakes! 🧁
Join us for The Cupcake Run on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at Erindale Park! This sweet and meaningful event features a 5K run/walk and a 1K kids' dash, bringing our community together in support of Erica’s Wish Blanket Program and POGO (Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario).
Every step you take helps provide warm, comforting blankets to children in Oncology at SickKids and across centres in Ontario fighting the battle of their lives. As well as provide wraparound care from the time of diagnosis, through treatment and into survivorship through POGO. And the best part? Every finisher gets a delicious cupcake to celebrate crossing the finish line!
🎟️ Register today and make your km's matter! Let's run, have fun, and spread warmth—one blanket (and one cupcake) at a time.
