This is a timed 5KM/10KM run to honour and support First Responders and Frontline Workers in our community (meaning anyone who supports/helps others such as but not limited to; police, fire, paramedics, corrections, CBSA, dispatch/telecommunications, military/veterans, social workers, CYCPs, nurses, doctors, tow truck drivers, child protection workers, PSWs and many many more. If you are not a first responder or frontline worker, this event is still for you! This is an opportunity to come out and connect with those in the community who spend their life helping others. This race will take place in Canatara Park (starting and ending at the Terry Fox loop) with a scenic run through.
Proceeds from this run are still TBD! In 2024 proceeds went to Project Mental Wellness, and Three Oaks Cabin, and 2025/2026 proceeds were donated to Boots on the Ground (Ontario).
We have a ton of fun to choose from this year:
1KM: This distance is back by popular demand. However, we have changed things up a bit, this event will now be TIMED. We had many littles asking last event what their time was so they could continue to improve. We have decided to make this happen!
5KM: This is a scenic run through and around Canatara Park AND Tarzanland (this year it will be impossible to miss that sneaky right, so you will get the full course experience!).
10KM distance for those who are looking to work towards a challenge. This route will take you along our beautiful waterfront past the casino and then back to join in on the 5KM scenic portion in Canatara Park.
GUARDIAN CUP - Team Challenge. This is for teams of 4 who would like their chance at the trophy for 2027. What does this encompass? Well, you just need yourself and three others to sign up together, come up with a team name, and then show up on race day and participate. Your team members do not need to run together for the duration of the run, they just need to cross the finish line. All 4 times will be added together and the average time will be taken. Whatever team has the fastest average takes the cup (and bragging rights). Teams will have their names added to the trophy. You do not need to be a first responder/frontline worker in order to register a team. *Please note that this challenge is only available to the 5 KM distance.
**2026 winner: YOUCAN**
Don't want to run? That's no problem, you are more than welcome to walk. Service animals and dogs are more than welcome to join along! Strollers and wagons are welcome.
**Unfortunately no refunds can be offered at this time and no BIB transfers**
