Celebrate Canada Day with purpose at the Brian Rhodes Memorial 5KM Run in beautiful Kelowna, BC 🇨🇦❤️
This community driven event brings runners, walkers, families, and friends together to honour the life and legacy of Brian Rhodes along scenic Abbott Street.
We completely sold out at our 500 participant limit last year, so we are capping the 5k at 500 runners again to ensure the best experience for everyone. Join us on July 1st, 2027 to move, remember, and celebrate together.
