Nelson Police Memorial Run/Walk 2026

Nelson Police Memorial Run/Walk is a community event in Nelson, British Columbia, created to honour Detective Wade Tittemore and Constable Mathieu Nolet. It pairs a local run/walk with a clear memorial purpose and a scholarship fund for a graduating LV Rogers student.

The event offers three family-friendly distances: a 1K kids’ fun run, a 5K run/walk, and a chip-timed 10K. The setting at Lakeside Park keeps the morning compact, with a waterfront backdrop and options that suit walkers, kids, and runners alike.

Funds raised support the memorial scholarship, and registration includes a t-shirt and finisher’s medal. For runners looking to explore more nearby events, see Races in Nelson or Road races in Nelson.

Start and finish are at Lakeside Park in Nelson. The 5K runs through the park and along the waterfront, with a flat, mostly paved, stroller-friendly profile. The 10K adds rolling hills early before easing into a faster flat finish.

The 1K is a short kids’ fun run at Lakeside Park. The 10K is chip-timed, while the other distances are offered as run/walk options.
