Wellwood Walk/Run/Wheel
Wellwood Walk/Run/Wheel returns to McMaster University for its 28th year. The event takes place in Hamilton and is scheduled for Sunday, October 18, 2026. It is presented as an inclusive, accessible race for people who walk, run or wheel. Registration for children is free and superhero costumes for kids are mentioned.
The event includes options to register or make a donation in support of Wellwood's services. Participants represent those who use Wellwood's physical spaces as well as its virtual offerings. Wellwood programs are provided at no cost through a hybrid model that is accessible from different locations. Hamilton Health Sciences is named as a partner and a charitable registration number is provided.
Organizers include a land acknowledgement noting that gathering spaces sit on ancestral and treaty lands of Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation under the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant. The text also recognizes the historical forced relocation of Inuit to the former Chedoke Hospital and states a commitment to remember and to act in ways that honour Indigenous sovereignty and leadership.
