About Us

Hi, I'm John Carson the founder and Program Director of Run for Life.  Run for Life is a non-profit organization and the group was formed in 2002 to bring accessible community running programs to a diverse audience.

I believe running offers something for everyone, and I am excited to have a broad base of passionate running ambassadors who volunteer to organize and host running programs and events in their own communities and schools across Canada.

Run for Life is successful because of our dedicated volunteers and board members, and several key sponsoring organizations. Our Board of Directors includes community leaders in education, technology, entrepreneurship, sports medicine, and running-focused athletic programs.
