The 9th annual Run for Rocky fundraising event will take place during Windsor-Essex Pride Fest 2025 weekend.

The public is welcome to run five kilometres or walk three kilometres with the kickoff on Saturday at 9:45 a.m. for the opening ceremony. The run and walk start are at 10 a.m.

The route begins at Dieppe Gardens and heads west through Windsor’s waterfront and ends at the Ambassador Bridge.

Since the inception, the event has raised over $400,000 in support of gay-straight alliance clubs (GSAs) in local schools.

This financial support includes grants, scholarships, and other educational programs for students, parents, and educators.

The effort of all involved ensures that the 2SLGBTQI+ community and their families are supported by services in the area.

Children 12 and under accompanied by a parent or guardian are welcome to attend the event at no charge and do not have to register.
