Welcome to RBC Race for the Kids

RBC Race for the Kids is a global initiative that brings communities together to run, walk, and wheel in support of youth charities. Surpassing $100 million CAD fundraised to date, 2024 has marked a milestone year thus far.

Here’s how you can help us keep the momentum going:

  1. Sign up for a live RBC Race for the Kids event in your community
  2. Or sign up for the Virtual RBC Race for the Kids Weekend on October 19-20, racing remotely on your own or with nearby friends and family

Either way you, and your friends and family, can support a local youth charity and be part of RBC Race for the Kids.

Let’s set up our kids for a thriving future. Register and support RBC Race for the Kids today!
