The 5ish Fun Run is a one-day annual event, taking place on Sunday, June 2nd, 2019. This event is aimed at raising much-needed funds for WBYO, a charitable organization that provides year-round, free after-school and summer programming for local children in a safe, fun and nurturing environment. We ensure that these children have opportunities to learn and grow in an atmosphere where their basic emotional, social and educational needs are met and supported by positive role models. WBYO programs include homework, reading and math clubs, sports, music lessons, and a variety of recreational activities and outings.

The 5ish Fun Run event is a lot of fun, involving families and community members from around the city. It consists of a 5(ish) km run/walk/rollerblade that starts and ends at Mulvey School field (750 Wolseley Ave), followed by live music, a community picnic, and other inclusive activities.

Our goal is to have 500 runners and walkers join us to help raise $30,000 for WBYO.
