Stratford 5K Run/Walk 2025

Stratford 5K Run/Walk 2025

This is the 4th Annual Stratford 5k Run/Walk. Thanks to all our runners from 2024, we were able to raise more than $26,000+ for The Local Community Food Centre (CFC). The Local CFC Stratford 5K Run/Walk will start and finish in Upper Queens Park Stratford Ontario. The route will take you past the beautiful Victoria lake and the legendary Stratford Festival theatres. This race will be chip timed and is welcomed to all runners, walkers and strollers. We will also have a kids race with medals and treats from Rheo Thompson, starting 8:50am sharp. You must register your child(ren) to participate. The kids run is approximately 600 metres. 100% of the proceeds go to The Local Community Food Centre.

Reduced registration fee for all youths under the age of 17 that participate in the 5K.

Fundraising Challenge: You will receive a reward based on the fundraising amount you reach by end of race day (see below for the fundraising tiers).
