ANNE'S TEAM (The Anne Hoehn Memorial Foundation)
"STWM provides our small, volunteer-based organization an opportunity to combine two things about which we are truly passionate — running for ourselves AND running for our cause. STWM is the perfect platform for ANNE'S TEAM — it marries the sport of endurance running, and all the physical and mental benefits that this sport offers, with our charitable mission to create awareness and raise funds for youth mental health. A very big thank you to CRS for providing the stage for ANNE'S TEAM to test our MENTAL TOUGHNESS!"
—Mike Hoehn, Founder
Wellspring Cancer Support Foundation
"The STWM has provided Wellspring with a strong and fun rallying point for our wonderful supporters and volunteers. The event is well organized and high profile, so people really get engaged and can see their support making a real difference. We love being part of it all!"
—Lynda Morrison, Chief Executive Officer, Wellspring Cancer Support Foundation

Best Dressed Costume: win $ for your charity
With thousands of people entered to run our Marathon, Half Marathon and 5K, some go the extra mile by dressing up for the occasion.
The number of participants who wear Fancy Dress during the Canada Running Series Races has grown over the past few years mainly to generate more attention for a particular charity as well as to raise more funds.
We have a 'Best Dressed Costume' category in all three events.
All costumes will be judged by 3 Celebrity / Media Judges at the Finish Line. Please note that you have to finish the race in your costume!
PLEASE NOTE that Winners must choose from one of the Scotiabank Group Charities or Neighbourhood Charities to allocate their prize money.
So who will you be? Fred Flintstone yelling 'Yabba Dabba Doo', Buzz Lightyear racing to infinity and beyond, or Superwoman hoping to be the fastest female super hero to cross the finish line?
