Wellwood Walk/Run/Wheel - McMaster University

Wellwood Walk/Run/Wheel returns to McMaster University for its 28th year on Sunday, October 18, 2026, in Hamilton. The event accommodates people who walk, run, or use wheeled mobility.

The event is described as inclusive and accessible. Registration is free for children, and superhero costumes are offered for kids. The program includes opportunities for walking, running and wheeling participants.

The event information includes a land acknowledgement naming the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and references the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant. It also notes the forced relocation of more than 1,200 Inuit to Chedoke Hospital as part of colonial policies and states a commitment to remember that history and to act in ways that honour Indigenous sovereignty and resilience.

Wellwood's programs are provided at no cost through a hybrid model that is accessible from anywhere. The organization partners with Hamilton Health Sciences. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
