Bumrun Virtual 2026

The Bumrun Virtual 2026 will take place on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT, accessible from anywhere in Canada as a virtual 5K walk/run event. This charity initiative supports colon cancer screening and prevention awareness, organized by Bumrun, a charity that has raised over $1.8 million net for colon cancer organizations over 15 years.

All virtual participants must follow the honor system for submitting their results online. The event focuses on raising awareness of colon cancer screening and prevention. Funds raised go toward colon cancer research, patient support programs for families, and public awareness initiatives. Canada has one of the highest colon cancer rates globally, affecting 1 in 16 Canadians, with 90% of deaths considered preventable through screening.
