Achilles International Canada Hope & Possibility® returns to Toronto on Saturday, August 22, 2026 with a timed 5K run, walk and roll. The event starts at 8:30 a.m. and is presented as a welcoming, accessible morning for runners, walkers, and rollers.

Part of Achilles International Canada’s Hope & Possibility® series, the race takes place in the Kew Gardens beach area and keeps the format simple: one flat out-and-back 5K, a lakeside setting, and a community-focused morning that welcomes participants and supporters alike.

The course is a timed 5K along the Martin Goodman Trail. It runs as a fast, flat out-and-back and is presented as fully accessible for runners, walkers, and rollers.

The start and finish are described near Picnic Area 1 just east of the pool in the Kew Gardens beach area, with Wheel-Trans drop-off noted south of 44 Kewbeach Ave.
