This is a fun run, so pick your distance of 1 km or 5 km. You can take your time, or set a new personal record, walk it, or jog it. Dogs are also welcome!
Register today and join us for a fun day, and show your support for compassionate end-of-life care at the Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence!
Make the race more meaningful by raising funds on your personal fundraising page, or start a team with your friends, family or colleagues and set a goal.
Your purchase of a $200 Memorial Sign is a meaningful way to remember your loved one, support the Residence, and contribute to the success of our event. You can view your Memorial Sign as you complete the Run/Walk route, in "Memory Lane".
My husband Lou and I have been part of the running community for many years, and we were already supporting the Course pour la Compassion. But in 2018, it came home to us. My brother Don, who was living with us, developed melanoma and eventually went into palliative care at the Residence. What a blessing in such a difficult time! Don, as well as Lou and me, experienced first-hand the loving, caring support given by the Residence and its most wonderful staff. They have our everlasting gratitude and appreciation."

Once you have completed your Walk/Run, the fun continues in the Party Zone! Local merchants and sponsors will have complementary goodies for your enjoyment. This family-oriented space in Park Valois offers face-painting, frozen treats, coffee, and much more for kids of all ages!
Your support helps us to continue offering our end-of-life care, free of charge, to patients and their loved ones. We are truly grateful.
