About

This Half Marathon, 10K and 5K event began in 2012 with a simple idea: to host a small running event and raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

In that inaugural year, the event had 1,665 registered runners and raised $25,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The entire committee was astounded by the enthusiasm of the community, and a tradition was born.

Fast forward to 2025, and the WFPS Run is fortunate to have a volunteer Race Committee of over 20 dedicated community members and this year will host a record 4000+ runners. Most importantly, this event has raised over $500,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. As the event continues to grow, we continue to be surprised, inspired and grateful for the participation and support from Manitobans and beyond. We all extend our gratitude and promise to keep working harder to make your event the best of the year.

WFPS Run is dedicated to creating a memorable event from start to finish.
