Lockport River's Edge Run/Walk for HD 2026

The Lockport River's Edge Run/Walk for HD takes place on May 9, 2026 in Lockport, MB. This community-focused event brings people together along Lockport’s riverfront to raise funds and awareness for Huntington disease in Manitoba.

​

The event is a single-day run/walk designed to welcome both runners and walkers. Specific distance options and start times are set by the organizers each year; on race day participants gather at the river’s edge in Lockport for a course that suits a mixed field of paces.

​

What sets this event apart is its local, charitable purpose and its riverfront setting. The River's Edge Run/Walk emphasizes community support for those affected by Huntington disease, giving participants a direct way to contribute to awareness and services while enjoying a scenic outing. The atmosphere leans toward family-friendly and teammate-driven fundraisers, with neighbours, workplaces and local groups commonly taking part to support the cause.

​

Participants should check registration windows and event-day instructions as the race date approaches to confirm start location and any participant perks. Local runners and supporters often use the event as an opportunity to combine fundraising with a morning along Lockport’s riverfront.
