5k Run Walk

Central United Church (CUC) is working to raise awareness and funds for groundbreaking ALS research at Sunnybrook Hospital's Brain Sciences Program, in honour of longtime CUC member and Unionville resident, Lynne Pulenzas. This 5K run/walk event is not only a fundraiser - it is a celebration of Lynne's strength as she has faced this disease, her legacy of kindness, and the love that surrounds her. To learn more about Lynne's story click here. By coming together in an active way, we honour her fight and help move closer to a world without ALS.

To walk or run with us, and help work towards eliminating ALS, click the "Register" button! As you register, you will be prompted to set up your own fundraising page to send to your friends and family. We suggest a fundraising goal of $1000, but any amount is great! You can also make your own donation to Sunnybrook as part of the registration process.

To donate to Sunnybrook without registering to walk or run, click one of the "Donate Now" buttons or click "Donate to Participant" to the left of the page to sponsor a specific walker/runner's fundraising efforts. Charitable tax receipts will be automatically issued by Sunnybrook through Race Roster for donations over $10.

If you need help setting up or sharing your fundraising page, please contact church staff - Christina Ng.

    PUMA Toronto Women's Spring 10K/5K

    Join us as we kick off our 18th season at the PUMA Toronto Women’s Spring 10K/5K on Saturday, May 23, 2026!

    Be part of something truly special and join more than 1,400 participants as they run and walk through Toronto's paved and stunning park system, starting at Wilket Creek Park, in the heart of the city, in one of Toronto’s most popular races.

    Come and see why our race series is 18 years strong and continues to grow, providing women with the opportunity to set the pace and stay fit and active in a fun, supportive, and friendly environment.

    Our in-person race starts and finishes in Wilket Creek Park and follows the paved paths of the Toronto park system.

    If you can’t join us in person, the virtual race gives you the flexibility to complete your race, your way, anywhere, anytime. Together and apart, we collectively set the pace.

    The race is capped at 1,400 participants, and it will sell out. Enter today to secure your spot at the start line.

    The PUMA Toronto Women’s Run Series raises funds for the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO). Your participation helps make a difference to children and their families living with childhood cancer.

    Our goal is to raise $70,000 in 2026. This will bring our cumulative total to more than $775,000 since our series inception in 2009.

    When you complete all three races in the 2026 PUMA Toronto Women’s Run Series, you will earn our exclusive PUMA Toronto Women’s Run Series finisher prize. More details coming soon!

    We look forward to seeing you set the pace with us on Saturday, May 23, 2026!
