Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women - Saskatoon 2026
The Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women is Canada’s largest running series dedicated to supporting women’s mental health. Since its inception in 2013, the series has raised over $23 million for local mental health programs in 18 Canadian communities. The event brings together thousands of participants each year, fostering a sense of community and empowerment while raising vital funds for mental health initiatives.
The 2026 Saskatoon edition is scheduled for June 13, 2026, at Victoria Park. Participants can choose from three distances: a 1K Little Steps for children, a 5K walk/run, and a 10K run. All proceeds from the event support local mental health programs, such as the "More than Mamas" initiative by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Saskatoon, which provides resources and support for new mothers. The event is inclusive, welcoming runners and walkers of all abilities, and features a festive atmosphere with music, community engagement, and a generous swag bag for all participants.
