About Us

Welcome to Run-for-Palestine walking and running club

Run for Palestine is a dedicated outdoor-based walking and running club.
Our first and foremost desire is to have fun, enjoy time, and to raise awareness
of the issues facing Palestinians and their needs.

As a pro Palestinian non-profit sports group we donate all raised funds to humanitarian relief aid such as  pro-Palestine medical aid, orphanages, and projects to promote playgrounds for children, education, reducing unemployment, or students' exchange.

This club is endorsed by Palestine House in Mississauga,
www.palestinehouse.com, tel. (905) 2704011.

You do not need to be Palestinian to join this group. Everyone is welcome to join.

We are a group of volunteers scatered all over the GTA and we meet regularily once per month to take care of club business and to enjoy time.

Inspired by the vision of a peaceful Palestine, we started this group with our first event
- a Run for Palestine - held in High Park, Toronto, Canada in July 2009.
Some twenty pro-palestinian enthusiastic runners and walkers participated in this
event which made it a good start for this club.

In addition to the annual fundraising Run for Palestine event, we also hold a 
community-based run/walk on the first Sunday of each month and we invite you to
come out and join us. The locations vary across the GTA each month. For more
information on the social running group which meets once a month please click on
the tab entitled "Monthly Running Group."

If you are interested in starting a local Run-for-Palestine group in your city, please
send us an email at info@runforpalestine.com.
