Run for Resilience 2026

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Springbank Park as it transforms into a vibrant hub of activity on October 11, 2026. The 10th Annual Run for Resilience invites runners and walkers to celebrate movement, connection, and support for accessible mental health care among neurodivergent individuals. This event offers three distinct distances: the 5K Walk/Run, designed for those who wish to participate non-competitively; the invigorating 10K Run, perfect for seasoned athletes seeking an autumn adventure; and the family-friendly 1K Community Walk.
Springbank Park's diverse landscape provides a unique setting with its lush green spaces and winding trails. Participants will navigate through picturesque forested areas, enjoying scenic views that make every step memorable. The central gathering point is located at the park entrance on London Street, overlooking downtown London to the east. From here, runners will embark on an enjoyable journey along paved and gravel surfaces, weaving through autumn foliage.
On race morning, a bustling yet serene atmosphere awaits as families gather for the 1K Community Walk while others prepare to tackle longer distances. The course is carefully designed to offer both challenges and rewards, ensuring that every participant finds their perfect pace amidst the natural beauty of Springbank Park. Spectators are encouraged to cheer participants along the route, creating a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
