All proceeds from the Candle Lake Fun Run go toward supporting mental health initiatives throughout Saskatchewan, helping foster awareness, provide resources, and strengthen community connections.

“Our goal has always been to create a space where people feel supported, connected, and reminded that they are not alone,” say organizers. “Every step taken at the Candle Lake Fun Run helps make a difference.”

Registration is now open at candlelakefunrun.ca and through Race Roster.
