9th Annual Summer Solstice Run

We’re honoured to welcome the community back for the Ulnooweg Summer Solstice Run in 2026. This annual gathering brings people together to celebrate movement, community, and the beauty of life. This year’s run takes place on National Indigenous Peoples Day, making it an especially meaningful way to come together in celebration.
