The 'Goode Run is a FUNDRAISER

The Osgoode Youth Association relies on funds raised at the 'Goode Run to exist. The 2025 'Goode Run raised over $30,000 for O-YA! The 'Goode Run is volunteer organized and led which means 100% of the proceeds go right back into O-YA. This is very unique in the 'fundraising run' world. It's a run you can feel EXTRA good about!

The Races

The 5K is a multi-terrain course through Osgoode Village. It is a timed event by Sportstats.

Participants of the 2K can run or walk. Baby joggers and strollers are welcome. Participants of ALL ages are out and about enjoying the 2K on race day. No 'running' experience is necessary! Just join us for a fun event! Dogs (who are on a leash, get along well with other dogs and are cleaned up after) are very much welcome to join the 2K. The 2K will run or walk on streets throughout the Village of Osgoode.

Race t-shirts

Shirts will be available for purchase as an add on to registration up until April 24 at midnight.
