 You did it, Sudbury!
$93,000 and counting!


Rain or shine, Sudbury showed up for the CIBC Run for the Cure. Despite the rainy weather, our community came together with incredible energy, generosity and heart, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
We are so proud to share that Sudbury has raised more than $93,000 and counting to support people affected by breast cancer. Every donation, every participant, every volunteer and every sponsor helped make this possible.
Across Canada, the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure raised an incredible $18 million this year, bringing together more than 65,000 participants and volunteers.
A huge thank you to our incredible committee and volunteers for everything you did to make Run Day such a success. And to everyone who ran, walked, donated, sponsored, volunteered, cheered us on or braved the rain with us, thank you, Sudbury.
We also want to extend our sincere gratitude to CIBC, our title partner of 30 years, and to our national sponsors WestJet, Canpar, Tetley and YesTV for their continued support.
$93,000 and counting. What a way to show up, Sudbury.
We’ll see you next year on Sunday, October 3, 2027!

 

 

 

 

 


Linda McCosham and Family at the Army Run



For our family, the Canada Army Run has become a wonderful tradition that we look forward to every year. This year, on September 20 in Ottawa, four family members came together to take part: my daughter Debbie, her two sons, Jacob, 16, and Ethan, 13, and me.

Jacob and I took on the Sgt. Major’s Challenge, which consists of both the 5K and 10K races. Debbie and Ethan participated in the 10K.

Ethan had an especially impressive day, finishing his 10K in just 46 minutes, which placed him fourth in the U14 age group. The rest of us weren't as concerned about our times. For us, the real reward was simply being there, enjoying the beautiful day, cheering each other on, and sharing the experience together.

The weather couldn't have been more perfect for the event, making an already special day even better. We left Ottawa with great memories, tired legs, and plenty of reasons to look forward to doing it all again.

We can't wait to return next year and continue our family tradition!

Lynn Stubbings runs the County Marathon Half


  


The weather was wonderful for the 23rd anniversary of the County Marathon event in Prince Edward County. I have participated in the half-marathon event every year since the beginning. I shared the day with Ken, who ran the marathon each year, for as long as he could.


Today was special for a couple reasons.
My guy, Joe Daniele, ran his second official 5k event & is understandably very pleased with how his finish times are improving.
And I was able to share my 103rd half-marathon with my friend Iwona Yvonne Kay . We enjoyed our time together. (Lynn)
