PHM Run for the Residents
PHM Run for the Residents is a fundraising running event on October 3, 2026, based at 9 Butternut Lane in Markham, Ontario.

The half-marathon route begins at Butternut Manor and finishes at Frances Di Carlo House, stopping at all seven PHM group homes and community locations along the way. The organization’s executive director will complete the half-marathon distance and participants may run, walk, or roll alongside.
