About the race
The Faculty of Health Fun Run takes place on Saturday, September 19, 2026, as part of the University of Waterloo Homecoming. It is presented as one of the university's longest-standing traditions and is open to the university and wider community.
Participants may run, jog, or walk the following distances:

The event welcomes faculty, staff, alumni, students, families with strollers, and community members of all ages. It is described as a fully accessible event. Music, games, and an official warm-up are included, and participants are invited to wear costumes for a chance to win prizes. The event uses bib tag technology and posts results online as part of an official race in the running community.
