Bumrun Halifax 2026

Bumrun Halifax begins and ends at Sullivan's Pond Park on Crichton Avenue in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The May 5K run/walk starts at 9:00 a.m., with a Little Bums 500 m children's run preceding the main race. The event is part of the Run Nova Scotia Road Race Series and serves as a fundraiser; registration provides swag, a finisher medal, and a personal fundraising page. The route is open for two hours. Walkers should line up at the back, and runners targeting 20 minutes or faster should start near the front. Water is not provided on the course, but is available at the event site. Bumrun collects funds for colon cancer research, patient support programs, and screening awareness. The charity reports that its 5K walk/run events have generated over $1.8 million net in 15 years. The Halifax event also offers post-race refreshments for participants and volunteers, baggage check, live results, and on-site and on-course medics accessible by bike.
