Run For Niagara 2026

Run For Niagara is an annual charity run organized by Mercy 4 Mankind, a subsidiary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA), aimed at raising funds for the Niagara Health Foundation. This year’s edition takes place on October 11, 2026, offering both serious athletes and casual participants an opportunity to contribute positively to their community.
The event is held at the picturesque Niagara Floral Clock located in Queenston, Ontario. The day begins with registration starting promptly at 7:30 AM, followed by a festive opening ceremony at 9:00 AM that sets the tone for the morning’s activities. At 9:30 AM, runners will take off on their 5K journey through scenic routes along the Niagara River Parkway, while families and friends can participate in the more relaxed 2K Family Fun Walk starting at 9:45 AM.
The 5K run is designed to cater to all levels of fitness. Whether you are a seasoned runner looking for another challenge or a first-time participant aiming to make a difference with your effort, there will be ample support along the way to ensure everyone feels confident and encouraged throughout their journey. The route offers breathtaking views of Niagara’s natural beauty, making it an inspiring backdrop for this charitable endeavor.
Meanwhile, the 2K Family Fun Walk at Kiwanis Heydenshore Park provides a more leisurely option where participants can walk together in support of Feed the Need in Niagara, a local initiative dedicated to helping those less fortunate. This event is not just about physical activity; it’s an opportunity for community members to come together and make a difference.
The day concludes with a closing session at 11:00 AM, featuring awards ceremonies that celebrate all participants’ efforts and contributions. Whether you are running or walking, this event promises a memorable experience filled with camaraderie and the satisfaction of giving back to your community.
