On May 31, 2026, Mikey’s Run returns to Burnaby Lake for its second annual event, building on the incredible success of its inaugural year.
With the support of participants, volunteers, and donors, the first Mikey’s Run brought people together on the trails around Burnaby Lake and raised over $100,000 in support of mental health awareness and resources.
Mikey’s Run exists to create space for connection, conversation, and support around mental health — an issue that affects individuals, families, and communities everywhere. The event honours the memory of Mike, an avid runner who trained regularly on these trails and who quietly struggled with mental health challenges.
In 2026, participants will once again come together to Break the Silence, One Step at a Time. The event will again include a 10 km run, a 5 km run/walk, and a kids’ run, welcoming people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re running, walking, or simply showing up, Mikey’s Run is an opportunity to move together, remember together, and continue making a meaningful difference.
