About this Event

For my 30th birthday,  I wanted to do something special. Last year, I fell in love with running and ended the year with a race in Hawaii. That finish line feeling—joy,  accomplishment,  and community—is a type of energy that no one can take away from you. I decided that was the exact energy I need to ring in my 30's with, by running 30km for 30 years.

When I shared this idea, the support was immediate. But I wanted go beyond just my own challenge. That’s why I created the Third Decade 5K Virtual Run, inviting anyone to join in and support a cause close to my heart. On my birthday, I’m asking you to run 5km—anytime, anywhere—to celebrate movement, feel that finish line feeling, and raise funds for Canadian Women & Sport. Together, we can help ensure young women and girls have the same opportunities, support, and sense of community that shaped my own journey as a young athlete.

Let’s run together and make this birthday one to remember!
