RUN THE GAP 2026
🏃♀️ RUN THE GAP | 50 DAYS. 100 KM. $50K.
There are many things GAP is known and loved for: our commitment to family-like care, our ongoing efforts to reach and support victims of human trafficking, and our dedication to building healthy relationships and stronger communities through sports and fitness.
This November and December, we're inviting YOU to be part of something new!
Everyone talks about getting fit, moving more and starting fresh in January. But why wait for the New Year to make a change? Let's use the last 50 days of 2026 to get moving, build healthy habits and finish the year stronger than we started!
Join us for our inaugural RUN THE GAP fundraising challenge as we run (or walk!) to bridge the GAP between 2026 and 2027.
And we're not doing it alone! Many of our GAP students and staff will be taking on the challenge right alongside you. Whether you're across the world or right here with us, let's get moving together!
HERE'S THE CHALLENGE:
👟 Lace up your running shoes (or walking shoes!)
🧢 Pop on a cap (or a beanie!)
🏃♀️ Complete 100 KM over the final 50 days of 2026!
That's an average of just 2 km a day. You can run, walk, or mix it up. Accumulate your distance at your own pace, wherever you are!
LET'S KEEP EACH OTHER MOVING!
Track your own kilometres throughout the 50 days using your watch, phone or whatever works for you.
Each week, GAP will share a campaign update where you can comment with your progress or tag us in your running and walking photos. We'll celebrate milestones, share photos from participants and cheer each other on along the way!
At the end of the challenge, we'll ask everyone to submit their final distance so we can see just how far we've gone together!
HERE'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO RAISE $50,000 USD!
Our goal is to get 100 people participating, each raising a total of $500 USD!
Register: Suggested donation of $50 USD.
Fundraise: Aim to raise an additional $450 USD by inviting friends and family to join you or asking them to sponsor your kilometres!
That's 100 people × $500 = $50,000 for GAP!
Every dollar raised will go directly into GAP's general fund, giving us the flexibility to do what we do best: care for people, respond to urgent needs, create opportunities and bridge the gaps wherever we're needed most.
Whether you're a seasoned runner, a weekend jogger, or someone who prefers a good walk, there's a place for you in this challenge!
Let's make the last 50 days count. Let's move more, encourage one another, support a good cause and enter 2027 with a little momentum already behind us.
50 DAYS. 100 KM. $50K.
