Description

Run up for Down Syndrome will once again be occurring at Swangard Stadium and Central Park in Burnaby on May 31st, 2026. Last year we had just under 1000 participants run, walk and stroll to raise over $200,000 for the Down Syndrome Resource Foundation. Run Up for Down Syndrome is a family-friendly event for people pf all ages and abilities. In addition to the 5K and 1.5K run/walk, the event will feature fun and games for everyone. Local vendors will include small businesses owned by entrepreneurs with Down syndrome, great food and more. 

Sponsorship opportunities are available or you can form a Run Up team! Participating in Run UP for Down Syndrome as a team is an excellent, inclusive team-building activity that boosts morale and promotes wellness, often supporting charitable causes. Teams can range from competitive to casual, with options for running, walking, or navigating obstacles together. Key steps involve appointing a captain, registering as a group, and choosing themes.
