Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women - Markham 2026

The Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women is Canada's largest running series dedicated to supporting women's mental health. Since its inception in 2012, the series has grown to include 18 cities across the country, raising over $23 million for local mental health initiatives. The Markham event is a key part of this national movement, with all proceeds supporting women's mental health programs at Oak Valley Health's Markham Stouffville Hospital.

The event is more than just a race—it's a celebration of community, wellness, and the power of collective action. Participants of all ages and abilities come together to walk or run, united by a shared commitment to improving mental health outcomes for women. The event features a supportive and festive atmosphere, with opportunities for fundraising, team participation, and family involvement. In 2025, the Markham event saw over 1,800 participants and raised $461,000, demonstrating the community's strong support and engagement.
