The 2026 Humber 5K Run will take place on April 16, 2026 along the scenic Humber Trail and is expected to welcome 100 to 150 participants from the Humber community, including students, instructors, family members, and members of the public.
In response to the lasting impact of COVID on student mental health, third semester students in Humber’s Fitness and Health Promotion program have partnered with Stella’s Place for the 21st annual Humber 5K Run. Stella’s Place provides free mental health services and support to young adults. Together, students and staff have continued the 5K Run as a fun, inclusive way to raise funds, reduce stigma, and promote mental wellbeing within the Humber community. Since 2022, the Humber 5K Run has raised more than $12,400 in support of Stella’s Place. This year, the goal is to raise $3,000 to help ensure young adults can access timely, barrier free mental health support when they need it most.
