for the 25th annual Rebecca Run for SMA
This year marks a very special milestone—our 25th year of coming together to run, honour, and celebrate our SMA community.
The 2026 Rebecca Run for SMA will be an unforgettable edition of one of Ontario’s most beloved summer races—a run you won’t want to miss.
This family-focused 5K Run/Walk and Kids’ Fun Run is a friendly, inspiring way for friends and families to get active and raise funds for Cure SMA Canada.
The event takes place in picturesque downtown Newmarket at Fairy Lake. From the scenic 5K route to the inspiring Kids’ Fun Run and the fantastic post-run party, there’s something for everyone at the Rebecca Run for SMA.
Can’t join us in person? Participate virtually from wherever you are in the world and be part of this special 25th-anniversary celebration.
Enter today and help us improve the lives of Canadians affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy. All funds raised go directly to Cure SMA Canada’s programs and services across the country.
We can’t wait to see you—in person or virtually—at the start line on Saturday, July 4, 2026.

Join us for the "5k/10k Run/Walk for Justice, Honoring Flight PS752 Victims."
On October 10, 2026, let us gather — in Toronto and Vancouver and virtually around the world — to stand for justice and truth, transforming our collective grief into a powerful force for change. With every step, we honor the 176 lives lost — passengers, crew, and an unborn child — and support the ongoing pursuit of accountability and transparency.
This year, we’re proud to partner with PAND Settlement Services to offer charitable tax receipts for all donations in Canada. All proceeds from this event will support the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims and fund initiatives that have led to major breakthroughs — including organizing key events and engaging with governments.
