Maple Leaf Run
The Maple Leaf Run is a symbolic 21-kilometre journey through the streets of our nation’s capital — tracing the shape of our iconic maple leaf. The route will be featured on Strava and invites Members of Parliament to proudly celebrate Canada and their role in representing its people.
Join us as we thank Canadians for the trust they’ve placed in us to serve.
In the days leading up to Canada Day, Eric St-Pierre, Member of Parliament for Honoré-Mercier, will complete the full route, joined by fellow MPs — including the Secretary of State for Sport — and special guests. Among them is Ryan Keeping, who ran across Canada in just 99 days last year.
This isn’t a race — it’s a celebration. A moment to come together in the spirit of unity, pride, and community. Together, we’re honouring the culture, values, and identity that make Canada strong — and why we’re proud to call it the best country in the world.
DATE: Thursday June 19, 2025
