2026 5K Run/Walk for Lynne

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.

The race uses a road-based 5K route starting at Central United Church, 131 Main Street Unionville, Markham. Race-day kit pickup is part of the event flow, and the start time is 8:00 AM. The course is set up for both runners and walkers, with organizer-supplied timing by Chiptime Results.
