Program overview
The Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women is the largest annual run-walk event series dedicated to women’s mental health in Canada. Every spring, we lace up for 5k and 10k run/walk events to raise millions of dollars for local mental health charities that work to improve access to mental health care and support for women across Canada.
Behind every step, donation, and volunteer hour is a shared commitment to making a difference.
28K+
participants across all events in Canada in 2025.
$3.5M+

Thanks to our participants, donors, volunteers, and sponsors, women have improved access to the mental health care and support they need to thrive.

The Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women is more than a national event, it’s a movement. Together, we’re forging a path towards greater understanding, equity, and access to care for women experiencing mental health concerns. The run celebrates the strength of women while building a community that makes women feel safe in asking for help when they need it. And that is powerful."

Supporting all women
As part of our commitment, we recognize that the term “women’s health” is understood in a variety of ways. Our work goes beyond the sex and gender binary, welcoming the experiences of all women and gender-diverse people.
