The 5K Run/Walk for Lynne brings runners and walkers to Unionville for a community morning built around ALS awareness and fundraising. The event supports ALS research at Sunnybrook Hospital and offers a welcoming run-or-walk format.

Held at Central United Church, it has the feel of a local neighbourhood event rather than a large race weekend. For runners looking for a simple 5K and a cause-driven atmosphere, it fits neatly into a summer race calendar in Markham.

Road races in Markham can be a helpful starting point if you’re looking for more local road events.
