About this Event

Get ready to spread some holiday cheer at the Miles for Smiles JOY DRIVE & Santa Run! This festive, family-friendly event will bring the community together for an afternoon of movement, meaningful giving, and Christmas magic in support of families facing childhood cancer.

Taking place at St. Ann's Academy, the event will feature a fun, festive 5 km Santa Run, with participants of all ages encouraged to dress up as Santa Claus and hit the course together. Rather than a traditional entry fee, participants can join the run by donating a new or gently-used toy, which will be added to Santa’s Sleigh and delivered to the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) Family Room at Royal Inland Hospital (RIH), helping bring comfort, joy, and a little extra magic to children and families spending time in hospital over the holiday season.

Beyond the run, the JOY DRIVE will transform into a winter carnival, complete with festive games, activities, food, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate the season together. Whether you're running, walking, cheering from the sidelines, or simply stopping by to enjoy the festivities, there will be something for everyone!

Lace up, suit up as Santa, and help us fill Santa’s Sleigh with JOY!
