The Wounded Warriors Run B.C. 2026 team is embarking on an 800-kilometre, eight-day journey from Port Hardy to Victoria to raise funds and awareness for mental health programs.
The run began Sunday, Feb. 22, in Port Hardy and participants are expected in Sayward early Monday evening after starting from Woss that morning. The team will make scheduled stops in communities including Campbell River on Feb. 24 and the Comox Valley on Feb. 25 before finishing March 1 in Victoria at Market Square.
This year’s fundraiser supports programs through Wounded Warriors Canada, a charity that provides mental health services for veterans, first responders and their families.
The 2026 team includes several Canadian Armed Forces veterans and RCMP members. One runner, Simon Brown, said he is excited to take part. “I would say that the cause, the charity, mental health, coping with PTSD and the programs that Wounded Warriors runs is a great cause,” Brown said.
Details on the run’s exact route and donation opportunities are available here and via Wounded Warriors Canada’s social media channels.
