Paul Wawryko Memorial Run
The Paul Wawryko Memorial Run is a commemorative running event in Winnipeg, MB, Canada, held on September 19, 2026. It is presented in loving memory of Dr. Paul Wawryko, who passed away in December 2023 and who worked in the department of Pathology. Proceeds support an annual scholarship for that department; remaining funds will be donated to causes important to the honoree.
The event offers in-person distances and a virtual option. In-person registrations include a t-shirt, bib, timing and a medal. A post-race gathering will take place at 123 Doncaster St and will feature a beer brewed for the event.
Distances:
- 5 km
- 2 km
A virtual category allows participants to run 2 km or 5 km from any location, with an additional fee to cover shipping of the event shirt and medal. A "Friends of the Run" registration tier provides event support without t-shirt, bib, or medal; those registrants are welcome at the post-race gathering.
Background information about the honoree provided by the organizers notes several long-distance accomplishments, including multiple marathon finishes and a half Ironman. At the time of this listing the event shows 247 participants and CA$12,266.88 raised for fundraising organizations linked to the run.
