Run to Give Toronto in support of ComKids Foundation

Run to Give Toronto in support of ComKids Foundation returns on September 27th, 2026, in the heart of downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The event starts early at 8:30 AM, lining up runners and spectators along King Street West near Bloor Street, amidst the bustling city life that transitions to a more relaxed atmosphere as race morning approaches.
The course takes participants through vibrant parks like High Park, winding through firm yet slightly soft paths where every step counts. The event offers both physical challenges and community support: with 5K runners navigating the scenic routes and virtual participants logging their miles online. Since its inception in 2019, Run to Give Toronto has grown significantly, attracting hundreds of runners each year who are not only eager to support ComKids Foundation but also inspired by the camaraderie among fellow participants.
This year marks the second time that proceeds will benefit ComKids Foundation, an organization dedicated over two decades to providing underserved youth with essential tools for their digital education and future success. The course venue boasts a trail condition of firm yet slightly soft paths, ensuring a comfortable experience despite early morning dew or light mist. With temperatures ranging from 14.5C to 22.1C on race day, the weather is expected to be mild with an average feels-like temperature around 18.3C. A gentle breeze at about 10.4 km/h and humidity levels of 74.7% can make for a comfortable run.
The Run to Give Toronto offers two distance options: The main event is the 5K, priced at CA$56.71; while virtual participants are encouraged with a minimum donation of $20 or more.

The start location is at 123 King St W, just a stone's throw away from Bloor Street, where runners will gather before making their way through High Park.
The event caters to all ages with no specific minimum age requirements; however, children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. For first-timers and locals alike, this race is not just about completing a distance but also contributing towards ensuring that more youth have access to equal opportunities in their future lives.
