Run for Relief 2026

May 30 at 8:00 AM | New Hamburg Fairgrounds

Are you a runner?

Great! We'll have courses set up for approximately 2k and 5k starting at 8:00 am. The starting line is located across the footbridge at the end of Jacob St. by Oak Grove Cheese Factory. This is a non-timed "fun run" that lets you enjoy an early-morning run with your friends and family at the pace of your choice. If you're looking to set your personal best time in a competitive race, this isn't the run for you. But if you'd like to help us raise funds for MCC and be a part of a great group, we'd love to have you join us.

Are you a walker?

Awesome! Join us for a beautiful walk along the Nith River as you visit with friends and listen to the birds, knowing that you're also raising funds for a great cause. We'll send the runners out first and then the walkers immediately after.

Can't make it on May 30th?

No problem! You can also be a part of this great event by setting up a fundraising page and then doing the activity of your choice whenever it suits you best.

Is there a cost to sign up?

While there is no cost to sign up for the run, we encourage participants to raise funds through Canada Helps for MCC!

What route will the event follow?

Check out the map below! Volunteers on site the day of the event will also direct your way.
