About Kitchener Kids with Cancer 2026
Kitchener Kids with Cancer is a community run and walk at Kiwanis Park that raises funds for POGO and supports local families facing childhood cancer. It brings together runners, walkers, and families for a morning event built around participation and fundraising.
The event includes timed 5K and 10K options, an untimed 5K walk, and a kids’ 200m run for age 7 and under. Stroller participants are also welcome in the 5K events, which keeps the day accessible for families with young children.
For local runners, it sits neatly within the trail races in Kitchener scene while staying firmly community-focused.
