2026 Run 4 Your Cause

Run 4 Your Cause begins at Canadian Mennonite University on Grant Avenue in Winnipeg. Runners, walkers, and wheelchair participants can select either a 3.3K or 5K distance. The event focuses on fundraising, with each participant directing a $25 donation to a chosen partner organization. Available options include the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Variety, The Children's Charity of Manitoba, Tails of Freedom Rescue, Latinas Manitoba, and the Bruce and Anne Oake Memorial Foundation. The 3.3K route travels through Assiniboine Forest and permits strollers, making it the more family-oriented choice. The 5K features the event’s unique element, the Awesome Twosome: two individuals register as a team, travel the 5K course in opposite directions, and high-five upon passing. Solo participants can still enter this format, as the Manitoba Runners Association will pair individuals without a partner. The event typically sees around 125 participants, and fundraising has reached just over CA$7,200 to date.
