Honour Her Mother's Day Run 2026

The Honour Her Mother's Day Run takes place on May 10, 2026 in Point Edward, Ontario. Now in its second year, this community-focused event gathers families and neighbours at Canatara Park to honour mothers, caregivers and the women who shape lives. The start/finish sits at the Canatara Park Bandshell on Lake Chipican Drive, giving the event a true lakeside setting.

​

The race day offers options for a wide range of participants: a 1K kids run for ages 12 and under (one circuit of the Terry Fox loop), a 3K walk, a 5K run that threads through Canatara Park, and a 10K that covers the 5K loop twice. Runners and walkers share a single-day schedule centered on the bandshell, with staggered starts by distance to keep the course flowing.

​

What sets this event apart is its family-first atmosphere and its focus on community recognition rather than competition. The 1K kids race includes medals and age-division prizes, and local organisations such as Vibe Training for Life and CEDA are listed as supporters. After the runs, participants are invited to linger for light refreshments and community time at the bandshell — a chance to celebrate Mother’s Day together on the water.

​

Registration is required and handled through Race Roster, with fees and entry details published on the event’s registration page. Runners looking for a relaxed, family-friendly Mother’s Day outing along Lake Chipican should register early to secure a spot.
