    Who are we?

    Bumrun is a charity that raises awareness of colon cancer screening and prevention.

    For 15 years, we have organized 5K walk/run events and raised more than $1.8 million net for various colon cancer charity organizations.

    Our funds go toward colon cancer research, enhancing patient support programs for families living with colon cancer, and raising awareness of colon cancer screening and prevention.

    Canada has one of the highest colon cancer rates in the world, affecting 1 in 16 Canadians. But 90% of deaths could be prevented with screening, so get ahead of your behind and join us this Bumrun!
