1k 5k 8k Run Virtual Walk

Established in 1978, the Spring Run-Off boasts a rich history and tradition. As the annual kickoff event for the Canada Running Series, it marks the arrival of spring in Toronto’s stunning High Park, inviting runners of all ages to participate and shake off the long Canadian winter.

Canada Running Series is excited to announce Beneva as the title sponsor of this year's series opener, now known as the Beneva Spring Run-Off, held every April in High Park, Toronto.

With a focus on family-friendly fitness, participants can select from 8K, 5K, and Kids Race distances, available in both virtual and in-person formats. All in-person runners will receive a souvenir apparel item and a finisher medal, featuring designs inspired by the beauty of High Park.

While it may not be a walk in the park, we look forward to helping you say goodbye to winter and welcome spring at the Beneva Spring Run-Off!

    A running, reading and leadership program for kids

    The Hopes Rise "Champions Club" after school program is a combination of running, reading and leadership skill building, culminating with a 5k race. All of the children are given free running shoes and books. Your donations help us make that happen!

    Founded by Canadian Olympian and long time Canadian women's marathon record holder Silvia Ruegger (February 23, 1961 – August 23, 2019). Silvia's vision for seeing transformational change led to her creating the charity Hopes Rise, before passing away from cancer in August. Audacious hope, which fuelled Silvia’s Olympic dream and the birth of the Running & Reading Club, fuels the dream to see all children in Canada hopeful about their future and equipped with the skills and qualities they need to flourish and be leaders in their community and nation. The Runners Shop is committed to playing an active role in keeping Silvia's dream of a bright future for all children alive.
