Run4Hope 2026 takes place on April 19, 2026 in Brampton, Ontario, at Professor's Lake. Organized by the Run4Hope team (event contact: Carlo Tuzi) and supported by the Running Room, this one-day community road race returns to the park setting for a capped field of participants.

The event program includes a 10K, a 5K and a School Challenge 5K aimed at encouraging youth and school participation. On race morning the 10K starts at 9:00 a.m., followed by the 5K and the School Challenge at 9:15 a.m. Organizers limit entries across distances — the event cap is 350 runners, with specific limits by race distance to keep starts compact and manageable.

Run4Hope highlights include a School Challenge 5K that gives local schools a dedicated entry category, and an early-entry perk: a free race shirt for the first 300 registrants. Race kit pickup is available the day before at the Winston Churchill Running Room (Saturday, April 18, 11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.) or on race morning at Professor's Lake (7:30 a.m.–8:30 a.m.), making logistics straightforward for both local and travelling participants.

Registration runs with early-bird pricing through February 28 and continues until capacity is reached; the organizer lists April 17 as the final registration window in current materials. Prospective entrants should register early to secure a spot and to qualify for the complimentary shirt while supplies last.
