3rd Annual Comfort Kit Fundraiser Walk

Etobicoke Trail is known for its well-maintained paths that wind through natural surroundings, providing a serene setting for the walk. Participants can expect to navigate through gentle terrain as they move along this picturesque route, surrounded by trees and open spaces. The event atmosphere will be one of community support and solidarity among those facing similar challenges.
This year marks the third consecutive hosting of the Comfort Kit Fundraiser Walk in Brampton, a testament to its growing significance within the local community. In 2019, over 450 participants joined the walk, while last year saw an impressive number of families participating and raising funds for essential comfort kits. The event not only raises awareness but also provides direct support through donations that go towards creating these necessary resources.
The course venue offers a mix of firm and slightly soft conditions along the Etobicoke Trail, suitable for all participants regardless of their walking experience or age. The race layout features notable route highlights such as Loafers Lake Park at both start and finish points, ensuring easy navigation and a seamless event flow. Participants will also benefit from an opening ceremony with remarks followed by the walk itself.
Weather conditions on September 12th are expected to be mild with moderate UV index levels, making for comfortable walking weather despite potential slight softness in trail conditions due to moisture or recent rains. Runners can expect temperatures ranging between 68°F and 75°F (20°C-24°C) during the morning hours of the event.
The race offers both an adult 4K walk and a Kids K for those aged 12 and under, with registration fees set at CA$40.02 and CA$18.44 respectively. Participants can register online via https://raceroster.com/events/2026/122471/3rd-annual-comfort-kit-fundraiser-walk before August 4th to secure a free event t-shirt, with additional shirts available on the day of the event for those who missed out. The race is suitable for participants of all ages and abilities.
Bib pickup will be held at Loafers Lake Park from 10:00am-10:30am on September 12th. Participants must bring a photo ID to claim their bib number, t-shirt (if applicable), timing chip, and any other required items for the event. The starting point is also located here at Loafers Lake Park.
First-timers should arrive prepared with appropriate footwear, clothing suitable for the conditions, water bottles or hydration packs, and personal identification documents such as a driver’s license or passport. Age requirements are not specified but those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult guardian during the event.
The Comfort Kit Fundraiser Walk is worth attending because it supports families in need through tangible comfort kits while fostering community solidarity among participants facing similar challenges. The opportunity to contribute directly towards creating a supportive network for bereaved parents and families makes this event not only memorable but also deeply meaningful.
