About the race
The Community Strong Race Weekend is the fifth annual fundraising event held in Sault Ste. Marie at 50 Pim Street in June 2027. The weekend brings together a series of races and family activities to raise funds and increase awareness of physical and mental health challenges in the local community.
Events across the weekend include these distances and formats:
- Marathon
- Half-marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km colour run
- Kids run
- BP 61KM Challenge, a three-day series of races including a 3.8 km community run, the 10 km and 5 km events, and the full marathon
Race packet pickup is scheduled at The Tap Room, 50 Pim St., on the Friday before the weekend. An official hotel partner is listed with a participant discount available until June 1st. Registration offers multiple pricing tiers for the different events.
All funds raised support the Algoma Family Services Foundation and their work on mental health in Sault Ste. Marie and the Algoma District. The event originated as a grassroots effort to highlight youth mental health needs following the death of a local teenager, and it continues to combine running events with fundraising initiatives for that cause.
