Hypothermic Half Marathon 2026 - Winnipeg

Please scroll to the bottom of this page for event day details.

We are excited to welcome runners back for the fourth annual CMV Canada Half Marathon in 2026! What began as a single, powerful act of awareness has grown into a community event dedicated to shining light on congenital CMV, the leading infectious cause of infant disability in Canada.

All participants will receive a high-quality commemorative medal, and the post-race celebration will feature refreshments and a lively atmosphere.

Wheel & Walk for Stroke Recovery

Sunday, July 12th from 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm

In support of the Stroke Recovery Association of Manitoba.

Our mission is to provide support and increase life participation for stroke survivors and their families. We have grown to provide support and recovery programs for all of Manitoba. In the last year, we have provided resources to over 8000 stroke survivors!

To continue and develop new programs, we need help from our community. So, join us Sunday, July 12th for our Wheel and Walk Party. Walk, Wheel, or just come and meet some amazing stroke survivors in our community.

All monies raised stay right here in Manitoba to subsidize new equipment and our new monthly life-enhancing experiences program.

Registration begins at 1:00pm.

Cycle Selkirk Park to Netley Creek

This non competitive 30 km cycle is about getting outside, riding together, and supporting The Joy Smith Foundation’s work to prevent human trafficking. This year we've introduced a beautiful new 30 km mixed terrain cycling route from Selkirk Park to Netley Creek and back. The ride features quiet country roads, scenic wetlands, abundant wildlife, open prairie views, and picturesque cycling scenery in Manitoba's Interlake.

Joy in Action includes a run, walk, and cycle fundraising challenge supporting The Joy Smith Foundation’s work to prevent human trafficking.
