Twelve Days of Run - 2026 Edition

Get ready to give back, get moving and spread some holiday cheer with Twelve Days of Run!

​

Since 2020, Twelve Days of Run has brought people together through movement, connection and a little festive spirit. This inclusive virtual event is about celebrating movement in all its forms, connecting with our communities and giving back along the way.

Whether you’re taking on the Full Santa or Half Santa challenge, we’re keeping things simple this year. No submitting stats, no reporting your progress and no pressure to share your workouts. We’re running on the honour system because we believe movement should be celebrated, not measured.

Run, walk, hike or find your own way to move. How you participate is entirely up to you!

​

Rally your friends, bring your family, connect with your local run crew or enjoy some solo miles. However you choose to participate, we hope these twelve days inspire you to get outside, move your body and connect with the people and places around you.

​

And what kind of holiday challenge would it be without a little merry motivation and some ho-ho-holiday fun? Every registration is automatically entered for a chance to win some amazing prizes from our incredible partners and friends.

It’s our way of spreading a little extra holiday cheer and celebrating everyone who joins in the fun!

​

This year, we’re excited to give back to Trans Canada Trail, supporting the incredible work they do to connect communities across Canada through trails. As an organization built on grassroots connections, sustainability and giving back, we believe in supporting the spaces that bring us together and make movement accessible to more people.

​

At the heart of Twelve Days of Run, it’s not about how fast or how far you go. It’s about showing up, moving with intention and being part of something bigger.

​

Cheers to another season of merry movement, meaningful connections and giving back. We can’t wait to share it with you all!
