Run for Home 2026

Run for Home is an annual autumn race day held at Emily Murphy Park in Edmonton, Alberta. Participants can choose from a 1 km walk/run, a 5 km walk/run, or a 10 km run, accommodating preferences from short family outings to longer runs. The event begins in the afternoon and is designed for diverse groups, welcoming families, strollers, and dogs alongside more competitive runners. The race benefits Edmonton’s inner-city housing initiatives, with funds directed to The Affordable Housing Sustainability Fund. Additionally, it gathers essential donations such as shoes, toques, and mitts for hospital patients upon their discharge. Post-race amenities include snacks, prizes, swag bags, and a bouncy castle, contributing to its atmosphere as a community fundraiser rather than a typical road race.
