2027 Charlee's Run

Race Information

Charlee’s Run is a fundraiser named in honour of Charlee Clare Holmes, who passed away in 2011 only a few hours after birth. Her parents, Dave and Mallory Holmes, started the run as a way to end the silence surrounding pregnancy and infant loss. The all-ages 5K or 1K run/walk features entertainment, a family fun zone with activities, and so much more, taking place at Tudhope Park in Orillia. Since its inception, Charlee’s Run has created a village of support for those who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss.
