The Bumrun is a charity whose mission is to increase participation in screening programs for colon cancer and to raise funds for colon cancer charities.

Colon cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death for men and 3rd for women. On average, 68 Canadians are diagnosed with colon cancer every day, and 26 die from it.

In fact, 1 in 14 Canadian men, and 1 in 18 Canadian women, will develop colon cancer during their lifetime. It’s likely someone you know is walking around undiagnosed right now.


(In 2012, Peter Pimm was contracted to measure a 5K route that started and finished in front of the Legislative Building in Queen's Park, Toronto. This route was Certified.  

However, in the past couple of years, due to extensive roadwork, a non-certified route was used. The roadwork has now been completed and Peter has remeasured the slightly changed route which been certified by Athletics Canada.)


Across Canada, Bumrun hosts the following 5K walk/run events dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging screening to prevent colon cancer. The events are:

    Toronto Sunday, April 27th, 2025
    Calgary Saturday, May 10th, 2025
    Halifax Saturday, May 24th, 2025
    Vancouver Sunday, June 1st, 2025


And there's also offer a 
    Virtual, Sunday, June 1st, 2025

100% of their proceeds from these events are donated to charities proven to raise awareness for colon cancer screening.
