About the race
24 Hours of Heroes is a fundraising fitness event taking place November 7–8, 2026 at 714 Algoma Avenue, London, ON. The event supports Wounded Warriors Canada and is running for its eleventh year. At the time of this posting the event shows 124 participants and CA$17,365.31 raised toward a CA$80,000 goal. The program schedules nearly every hour a new "Hero" workout.
Gyms may choose to run any number of the workouts; participants may also complete workouts at home with provided scaling options for limited or no equipment. First responder groups are invited to take part in a modified version of the event. Top fundraising individuals, gyms, and first responder teams receive prizes from event sponsors. The event began in 2016 with 24 CrossFit style Hero workouts created to honour fallen service members and to raise funds and awareness for trauma exposed professionals living with operational stress injuries.
Hero workouts are described as long and meant to be uncomfortable as a reminder of those sacrifices. Through the partnership with Wounded Warriors Canada the event reports having raised over CA$504,000 to date for that organization. Registration options include a remote participant category with Zoom access and scaling videos, and multiple host gym or satellite locations across Ontario and one host in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
