THE WILD ONE RUN
GOING VIRTUAL
ACROSS CANADA
In order to keep everyone healthy and safe we have decided to turn the 2020 Wild One Run into a virtual race.
Now is a great time to be active, to stay connected and to come together for a cause, even if it's not in person. Interact with your fellow participants and runners across Canada using the hashtag #WildOneRun. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and share your photos with us.
We might not be running together, but we are still showing up for the same reason: Raising Awareness & Funds for Youth Mental Health.

All Proceeds go to Youth Mental Health
The Blenk Family Fund was established together with the KGH Foundation to strengthen the network of mental health support and services available to young people and families in the Okanagan Valley and beyond.
Our goal is to build resilience and heighten awareness – to better understand and support where help is needed. With this work we hope to inspire meaningful change within more and more communities.
