Cooper Robertson Foundation – Run With Coops! 2026

Run With Coops! is an early-October race fundraiser in Grimsby, Ontario, organized by the Cooper Robertson Foundation. The in-person event is based at Southward Community Park, offering several race-distance options and a Kids 1K for families. Runners unable to travel to Grimsby can participate virtually, selecting their own route and surface. The money raised supports the SickKids Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Clinic in Toronto. The Kids 1K utilizes park pathways, while virtual participants can run on roads or treadmills. The event also features a Community Social, positioning it as a local family fundraiser rather than a purely competitive race. The foundation, established recently, has already raised over $450,000 for the clinic, and this run marks its sixth edition. Early October in Grimsby typically presents moderate humidity, which can make conditions feel heavy even after summer.
