Run for Resilience 2026
Run for Resilience is a community walk and run held on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at Springbank Park in London, Ontario. The event is hosted by Embodied Resilience Wellness Clinic and is organized to support improved access to mental health care for neurodivergent individuals.
All routes take place within Springbank Park. Course and timing options include both non-timed and timed choices to accommodate different participation preferences. The event offers these distances:
- 1K Community Walk : Accessible and family friendly
- 5K Walk : Supportive, non-timed option
- 5K Run : Timed option
- 10K Run : Timed option
Fundraising is part of the event framework. Participants may choose to raise funds to support low-income neurodivergent people who face financial barriers to accessing counselling services, and donations to support participants are accepted. The description of options notes that registration, fundraising, and donations each contribute to reducing barriers to care.
The event materials emphasize community, movement, and making mental health support more available locally. The format is presented as a lower-pressure alternative to competitive races, with an emphasis on participation over pace. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
