About 2026 24 Hour To Empower Running Challenge
The 24 Hour To Empower Running Challenge returns to Barrie on Saturday, August 29, 2026 at Athletic Kulture, raising funds for the Women & Children's Shelter of Barrie. Over 24 hours, participants run a 5K loop every hour on the hour — up to 120 km solo or as a relay — or join for as many loops as they choose.
Each kilometre symbolizes a step forward for women and children rebuilding their lives after domestic violence. For more road races in Barrie and other Barrie races, it's a unique endurance fundraiser on Reid Drive.
