Experience the vibrant atmosphere of Kingston on Saturday, October 10, 2026, as you join thousands of runners for Run Kingston. This family-friendly celebration honors first responders while promoting community wellness along the picturesque shores of Ontario Lake Park. Race organizers promise a scenic route that caters to participants at all skill levels with two options: a lively Family 2K starting at 9:15 am and a more challenging 5K, set for 9:00 am. Participants can expect a supportive community environment as local police, fire, and paramedic teams participate in the festivities. Race day begins early with race kit pick-up and onsite registration opening from 7:30 am at the Ontario Lake Park Pavilion, offering ample time to prepare before your run. The event encourages participants to bring their families for an enjoyable morning of exercise and community engagement. Registration includes a personalized bib number, ensuring each runner is uniquely identified on course. Upon crossing the finish line, you'll receive a commemorative medal as a token of appreciation for your participation in this meaningful cause. For those wishing to support Victim Services Kingston & Frontenac through their run, there's an option to choose the Green Bib, which does not include a race t-shirt or a finisher’s medal. Instead, $5 from each green bib registration goes directly towards funding crucial services provided by this vital organization. Run Kingston is more than just a race; it's a community event that brings together residents and visitors alike in celebration of safety, support, and resilience. Mark your calendars for October 10th to be part of something truly special.
