THE GOOD LOOP

On Wednesday, November 11, we're bringing Toronto's running and fitness communities together for something bigger than a finish line – to give back to the streets we run in.

Join us for a special 2-hour holiday charity run at Coronation Park, where every lap is an opportunity to give back, every dollar makes a difference, and showing up is what matters most.

Run, jog or walk at your own pace. Whether you complete one lap or ten, this isn't about how fast you go or how far you get. It's about coming together, moving with purpose and making a meaningful impact in the communities we share alongside - plus chances to WIN EPIC PRIZES.

50 CHANCES TO WIN: We're giving away 50 incredible gifts throughout the 2-hour experience. Surprise giveaways will happen along the loop at designated intervals, and you never know when the next one will drop. You don't have to be the fastest or go the furthest. Everyone participating on the loop has a chance to win.

All it takes is a $10 DONATION to participate, with the option to give more if you choose. Every contribution and 100% of proceeds will supports Ubuntu's 2026 Holiday Initiative, helping bring essential care, comfort and joy to people across Toronto this holiday season.

ABOUT UBUNTU & THE CAUSE

Ubuntu is a South African philosophy meaning "I am because we are." It's rooted in the belief that our humanity is connected through compassion, kindness and the way we show up for one another.

Founded on the idea of bringing good people together to do good things, Ubuntu Community Network creates opportunities for people to come together and make a lasting difference in their communities.

Each December, Ubuntu's Holiday Initiative brings together more than 200 volunteers to support organizations serving people across Toronto. Through thoughtfully prepared gifts and essential items, the initiative reaches thousands of people during the holiday season.

• Winter Care Kits: Essential items including hats, gloves, scarves, hand warmers and personal care products for people experiencing housing insecurity during Toronto’s cold winter months.
  
  
• Special Holiday Gifts: Personally selected and wrapped presents for families experiencing displacement during the holidays, helping bring comfort, care and moments of celebration. The Ubuntu Elves will find, acquire, and wrap special and specific gifts for each family.
  
  
• Holiday Cookies: A simple but meaningful gesture of kindness, bringing warmth, joy and a smile to people who deserve to feel remembered and celebrated.
  
  

With the support of Ubuntu's volunteer network, every contribution can go further, helping provide more essential items, more thoughtful gifts and more moments of joy to those who need them.
