Our History

Run for Life was founded as a Canadian based non-profit organization in 2002.      From a single training group in Cambridge Ontario, Run for Life  volunteers started to facilitate a host of programs in a number of  Waterloo Region locations.

Along with adult running programs, Run for Life has identified the school as a key hub of the community and we have strategically developed programs to support teachers and parent volunteers so they can offer simple and accessible running activities.

In 2009 Run for Life expanded to offer programs throughout Ontario as we established partnerships with a host of individuals and organizations who shared our passion for grass roots fitness.

Run for Life now offers programs in more than 200 locations across Canada and we are beginning to connect with communities in the developing world through the Global Outreach or GO program.

We wish you well in your fitness pursuits and hope we can help to  keep YOU running!
