Run For Palestine Fort McMurray 2026

4TH ANNUAL RUN FOR PALESTINE – FORT McMURRAY

Get ready, Fort McMurray!

The 4th Annual Run for Palestine is happening on September 13, 2026, and we can't wait to bring our community together once again for a day filled with energy, family fun, and purpose.

Since 2009, Run for Palestine events across Canada have raised more than $700,000 in support of humanitarian relief efforts in Palestine. What started as a small movement has grown into a nationwide tradition of community, compassion, and action.

This year marks Fort McMurray's fourth annual event, and whether you're running, walking, cheering from the sidelines, or bringing the whole family out for the day, there's a place for everyone.
