The event will take place from Monday June 29th to Friday September 18th, so you have the flexibility of choosing a date and time that works for you. There is a 5km, a 10km, and half marathon distance.
For your $35 entry free you get:

Where: Anywhere!
How: You can run or walk the 21K, 10K or 5K and you can do the full distance at once or break it into smaller increments over several days. Once complete, you will visit Sportstats to upload your race time.
Your finisher’s medal and shirt will then be delivered to you! Virtual Race FAQs
Once you have set your virtual goal, please consider setting a goal to support the Tumour Foundation either by raising funds or making a one-time donation. All you need to do is customize and share your fundraising page with the world and start! It’s super easy!
As Scotiabank covers all the fees associated with online fundraising, 100% of the funds you raise or donate will go directly to the Foundation!
