Join us! The Stronger Together 5K is a community based charity social run along the scenic oceanfront of Cadboro Bay and Cattle Point, this time we’re going bigger than ever. In collaboration with University Heights and several of Victoria’s event hosts and running communities, our vision is to bring the city together with an accessible, high-energy, and impact- driven fundraiser.
We’re kicking things off at Cadboro Bay - Gyro park, where there will be a group warm-up and intro before starting our run, along Beach Drive to Cattle Point. Haven't run in a while? Don't worry! We will have a variety of pacing groups, so whether you're a pro Strava subscriber or just there for fun, this event is for you!
After the run, stick around for a community celebration including:
🌭 A community BBQ
🎟️ Raffle prizes & giveaways
🎧 Live DJs

All proceeds from the ST5K go to charity. We're aiming to raise $10,000 in support of Ikaze Innovation Academy, a youth empowerment initiative in Rwanda that's partnered with UVIC Hands for Humanity. IIA equips underserved youth with the tools, mentorship, and resources to transform their community's problems into social enterprise solutions, creating sustainable change. Interested? Check out more at socialinnovationacademy.org, and email uvichandsforhumanity@gmail.com to find out how to make a donation with a CRA tax receipt.
Move your body. Meet new people. Make a difference. Join us for the ST5K 💛
