The Pharmaprix Run for Women is Canada's largest women's running series, dedicated to supporting mental health programs. Since its inception in 2013, the event has raised over $23 million for local initiatives, directly impacting the lives of women. In Montreal, the event supports the Montreal General Hospital Foundation, funding programs for women suffering from perinatal depression or living with borderline personality disorder.
The event features multiple race distances, including a 10K, 5K, and a 1K Little Steps run for children, set in the scenic Parc Maisonneuve. It emphasizes community engagement and supports mental health care and research in collaboration with the Montreal General Hospital Foundation.
