Run to EMpower

Endeavouring to highlight remarkable local talent and honouring the memory of Émilie Mondor, the first Canadian woman to run sub-15:00 in the 5K and a member of Canada’s Olympic team at the 2004 Olympics. The evolution of ‘Emilie’s Run’ to ‘Run to EMpower’ was inspired by Emilie’s advancement of womxn’s running in Canada, her perseverance through her own battles and her support of all runners. Run to EMpower includes a performance race for womxn, who can complete the 5k in under 28 minutes, and an open race, for all levels and genders.
