About Us
Created in 2012 the WFPS Run: Half Marathon, 10k, 5k began with a small idea.

Host a small running event and raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. In that inaugural year, the event saw 1,665 registered runners and raised $25,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The entire committee was humbled by the overwhelming participation and support by the community and dedicated themselves to creating a runner-centric event that was inclusive for all!

Our History
Fast forward twelve years later and WFPS Run is fortunate to have a volunteer Race Committee of over 20 dedicated community members, hosts over 3,500 runners and 700 volunteers annually, and has raised over $500,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

In our first year at our inaugural event which was held on Saturday, October 20th, we had 1,665 registered runners which resulted in us raising $25,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. We were humbled by the overwhelming participation and support by all runners and volunteers!

As the event continues to grow the committee is forever in awe of the support it receives from the community. We all extend our gratitude and promise to keep working harder to make your event the best of the year.
