Canada Running Series: Racing to Support Trans Canada Trail
Longtime supporter Canada Running Series is continuing their partnership with Trans Canada Trail for another year to support our work helping to improve access to the outdoors for people of all abilities.
We are proud to be a sustainability charity partner of Canada Running Series. Participants can select Trans Canada Trail as their chosen charity and raise funds in two ways:
1 – By actively fundraising, asking their family, friends and community network to support their race by contributing to their chosen charity.
2 – By making a charitable donation as part of their race registration.
3 – In some races, by choosing to register with the Impact Bib option, and selecting Trans Canada Trail as the sustainability charity partner of choice.
Participants can choose from a 5-kilometre, 10-kilometre, half marathon or full marathon event and support Trans Canada Trail at the same time!
Connecting people to nature, one step at a time, through a great partnership
This partnership is a natural fit: both Trans Canada Trail and Canada Running Series are focused on working together to increase access to trails and outdoor recreation. Both organizations also aim to further sustainability so that natural spaces can be enjoyed for years to come.

Trails that welcome everyone
Canada Running Series also shares Trans Canada Trail’s focus on improving access to nature. Donations raised through this partnership will further Trans Canada Trail’s work improving trail accessibility and make outdoor experiences more welcoming and enjoyable for people of all abilities.

Sustainability on the move through the Impact Bib Program
Canada Running Series’ Impact Bib Program gives participants the choice to make a donation to a participating sustainability charity of their choice in lieu of a race shirt. Participants can donate to Trans Canada Trail as part of their registration in the following 2025 races:
