Run for the Frontline
Run for the Frontline is a timed community running event at Canatara Beach & Park, Lake Chipican Drive, Sarnia, Ontario, held to honour and support First Responders and Frontline Workers in the local community.
Distances offered include:
- 1 km fun run for kids, free and not timed, ages 12 and under.
- 5 km timed run/walk through and around Canatara Park.
- 10 km timed run/walk including the scenic 5 km route and additional course.
The course starts and finishes at the Terry Fox loop and follows a scenic route through Canatara Park. A team challenge called the Guardian Cup is available for teams of four in the 5 km category; teams register together, all four finish times are combined and averaged, and the fastest average wins the trophy and has the team name added to it. Team members do not need to run together for the duration of the event.
Finishers in the 5 km and 10 km receive a challenge coin and a limited edition t-shirt; 1 km participants receive a finishers challenge coin. Participants who register after September 14 will not receive a shirt. Walking is permitted, service animals and dogs are welcome, and strollers and wagons may be used.
Race kit pickup is available at 546 Christina Street N, unit 401A on the days before the event and at the start area on event day. Proceeds for 2026 will go to Boots on the Ground. No refunds or BIB transfers are available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
