Kitchener Kids with Cancer

Kitchener Kids with Cancer is a Run Waterloo fundraiser held at Kiwanis Park in Kitchener, Ontario. In its 12th year, it offers a 5 km run/walk and a 10 km run, plus a free 200 m Kids Run for ages 7 and under. The dirt-trail course stays entirely within Kiwanis Park, with one loop for 5K and two loops for 10K, and is certified with multiple water stations.

A 10-minute-per-kilometer time limit applies. Perks include a finisher medal for all and a free technical t-shirt for the first 700 registrants, plus post-race refreshments and music. Funds support the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario; about 608 participants have raised roughly $45,714 toward a $100,000 goal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
