About Run for Palestine
A Canadian solidarity run movement uniting communities from coast to coast.
From One Run to a National Movement
Run for Palestine began in 2022 when a small group of Torontonians decided to channel their grief and solidarity into action. What started as a neighbourhood 5K quickly grew into a national phenomenon, with Canadians in cities from Vancouver to Ottawa joining the movement.
By partnering with Islamic Relief Canada, we ensure that 100% of every dollar raised reaches humanitarian programs on the ground in Gaza — food, water, medical care, and psychosocial support for families in crisis.
Today, Run for Palestine is Canada's largest solidarity run, with 9 chapters, thousands of participants, and over $407,679 raised in 2024 alone. We run because we believe movement is a form of advocacy — and because every step brings us closer to justice.
