Join us for the 15th annual fall run
Since 2007 the SHLF Run has been organised 100% by volunteers with all proceeds being directed to helping youth achieve their full potential through sports and education. All proceeds go to the incredible Streetfront program. Run a challenging 10km course, a stroller and kid friendly 5km and the Kids Fun race. We truly have something for everyone. Bring a friend or build a team for our Team Challenge.

Fundraising
Fundraising is not required to participate but is encouraged and appreciated. As our keystone annual event, we rely on the Run to raise enough funds to support Streetfront Alternative to achieve their goals.
Since 2009, SHLF has been able to provide Streetfront with an operating budget that has allowed them to spend 35 school days a year doing outdoor adventures and helping hundreds of at-risk youth finish marathons.
Please consider starting a fundraising page as part of your registration.
Run donations and fundraising pages are made via the Strachan Hartley Legacy Fund at Tides Canada Foundation. Strachan Hartley Legacy Foundation Fund at Tides Canada supports qualified donees.
