Run4Lighthouse 2026

Run4Lighthouse takes place on May 30, 2026 in Burlington, Ontario and is organized by Lighthouse for Grieving Children. Presented as the charity’s largest annual fundraiser, the event raises funds so Lighthouse can continue offering free grief support programs for children, youth and their families.

This is a single-day event that begins at 8:30 A.M. at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington. Runners and walkers register through Race Roster; the event is structured as a community fundraiser rather than a competitive series, with timing and distance information listed on the official registration page.

What sets Run4Lighthouse apart is its direct connection to a local charity whose mission is to help grieving children find belonging, connection and understanding after the death of a family member. Proceeds support Lighthouse’s free programs, and local businesses can get involved through sponsorship — contact information for sponsorship is provided by the organizer. The event brings donors, volunteers and local families together in support of grief services in Halton Region.

Registration is handled via Race Roster; interested participants and sponsors can follow the registration link to sign up or to inquire about sponsorship opportunities.
