Proud to support! Our team had so much fun on the run!!!
🎉 WE DID IT—TOGETHER! 🎉
Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors, donors, participants, volunteers and the entire community, the Run for Our Lives 2026 CIBC Mud Run was an amazing success! 🏃♀️💦🙌
While we are still tallying the final numbers from this year’s event, we already know something truly exciting:
🎗️ WE HAVE EXCEEDED OUR $600,000 CAMPAIGN GOAL! 🎗️
This campaign began in 2024 with an ambitious goal of raising $600,000 to fund four pieces of cancer-related equipment for Stanton Territorial Hospital:
💜 One Breast Ultrasound
💜Two Automated Endoscope Reprocessors
💜 One Colposcope Examination Chair
Every registration, donation, pledge, sponsorship, raffle ticket and muddy step helped carry us across that finish line. Money raised in the North stays in the North—and together, we are supporting cancer diagnosis, treatment and care Close to Home.
We cannot begin to thank everyone who helped make Saturday happen. From the committee members and volunteers who spent countless hours planning, building, hauling, soaking, organizing and cleaning, to our generous sponsors and donors—and every participant who climbed, crawled, slipped, laughed and conquered the course—you made this possible!
And now, a big congratulations to our 2026 fundraising and team award winners: 🏆
