'Goode Run 2026

About the Event

The 'Goode Run 2026 is a high-energy community fundraiser scheduled for Saturday, May 9, 2026, in Osgoode, Ontario. Organised and led entirely by volunteers, this event directs 100% of its proceeds to the Osgoode Youth Association (O-YA), a vital local organization that provides programs and resources for area youth. The run is known for its festive atmosphere, encouraging participants to wear costumes and even inviting leashed dogs to join the 2K event. Departing from the Stuart Holmes Arena, the multi-terrain courses offer a tour of the village, combining athletic challenge with a strong philanthropic purpose.

Osgoode Village is a charming rural population center within the city of Ottawa, with a community population of approximately 2,600 residents, while the broader Osgoode Ward serves roughly 30,400 people. The demographic landscape of the ward is predominantly White (approx. 88%), with racialized groups making up about 12% of the population—a profile typical of Ottawa's rural southern tier. The community is affluent, with a median household income significantly higher than the provincial average, often exceeding $115,000 CAD. This prosperity fuels a strong culture of local giving and volunteerism, essential for maintaining the community-run facilities like the arena and the O-YA youth center.

Participants receive a unique race medal, a personalized bib, and professional timing for the 5K event. Registration is open online until May 1, 2026, with early bird incentives available until mid-February. Race kit pickup begins the evening before at the Stuart Holmes Arena, with a secondary window on race morning starting at 7:00 AM. For those looking to support the cause further, the event features a robust fundraising platform, with local youth like Jaxson and Tristan Thom often leading the leaderboards. Whether you're running for a personal best or walking in a superhero costume with your dog, the 'Goode Run remains a cornerstone of Osgoode's social and athletic calendar.
