Pharmaprix Run for Women - Montreal is a morning race held in Parc Angrignon, located at 3400 Boulevard des Trinitaires in Montreal. It features a 1K Little Steps race for children, alongside 5K and 10K options for runners and walkers. This short, park-based event is linked to fundraising. The Little Steps race begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 10K at 9:15 and the 5K at 9:25. Participants are advised to arrive around 8:00 a.m.
The Montreal race benefits mental health care and research via the Montreal General Hospital Foundation. Funds are allocated to mental health programs at the Montreal General Hospital and the McGill University Health Centre. The series has supported mental health programs for over ten years. This event's fundraising aids the Mental Health Mission in serving over 45,000 outpatient visits, 500 inpatient admissions, and 3,000 emergency psychiatric consults annually. Care within these programs involves psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, social workers, and nurses, making the fundraising connection direct. The event also includes team and individual fundraising leaderboards, social sharing via Run for Women and Course pour les femmes channels, and a community focus on women, families, and mental health support.
