Marathons For Mental Health 5k/10k Race 2026

The Marathons For Mental Health 5k/10k Race 2026 is an annual event held in London, Ontario, dedicated to raising awareness and funds for first responder mental health initiatives. Organized in support of the #IVEGOTYOURBACK911 campaign, this race channels 60% of registration fees directly to organizations that provide mental health support for first responders across Canada. The remaining funds are used to enhance the race day experience for all participants.

Now in its third year, the event has become a staple in the local running community, attracting runners, walkers, and supporters who are passionate about mental health advocacy. The race offers both 5K and 10K distances, making it accessible to participants of varying abilities. With a scenic course along the Thames Valley Parkway and a supportive atmosphere at Gibbons Park, the event is both a meaningful and enjoyable way to contribute to a vital cause.
