Run for Abbotsford 2026

The Run for Abbotsford 2026 returns to Mill Lake Park on the morning of June 28th, 2026 in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. The event is part of a tradition that has grown over three years and aims to support Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation.
Race participants will gather at the park gates early for registration starting from 11:00 AM on race morning. Mill Lake Park offers a scenic setting with its walking trails and picnic areas, creating an inviting atmosphere even as runners get ready. The event starts just after noon, providing ample time to warm up in the moderate UV index of around 5.6.
This year's charity run/walk marks another milestone for Abbotsford community engagement, bringing together individuals from all walks of life under one cause. Over 280 participants registered last year, showcasing a vibrant and inclusive spirit that this event seeks to foster again. The funds raised will go towards supporting the dedicated staff at Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation.
The course winds through Mill Lake Park's firm but slightly soft terrain, offering a flat layout with gentle curves that make it suitable for both seasoned runners and casual walkers alike. A 1K Family Walk kicks off the festivities before the main event begins just after noon. The 5K run will see participants traverse familiar paths within the park, benefiting from aid stations strategically placed along the route.
Weather conditions on race day are expected to be comfortable with a temperature range of about 20°C to 24°C and moderate UV index levels, making it an ideal setting for outdoor activities. Runners can expect some wind but no significant precipitation risks in early June.
The event offers three distances: a free Family Walk covering 1K, and two options for the 5K run—fees of CA$28.93 or CA$61.12 depending on participation numbers. Registration is open until close to race day at https://raceroster.com/events/2026/130514/run-for-abbotsford-2026.
Bibs can be picked up from 8:00 AM the morning of the event, and participants are advised to bring their ID for verification. The start line is at Mill Lake Park's main entrance on Bevan Ave in Abbotsford, BC V2S 4S5. All ages are welcome; simply come prepared with a positive attitude.
The Run for Abbotsford 2026 marks another year of community support and solidarity around Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation. Participants will not only enjoy the scenic park setting but also contribute to vital healthcare services in their area, making it an event worth attending.
