Father’s Day Walk/Run

Everyone knows someone. Who will you be walking for?

The Island Prostate Centre’s Father’s Day Walk/Run is a family-friendly 3K or 5K walk or run in support of our programs and services for local patients and their families.

Sunday, June 21, 2026

In 2026, we’re proud to celebrate 23 years of walking and running together. Since 2003, more than 7,000 participants have raised over $1.4 million to ensure men on Vancouver Island have access to guidance, support, and care when they need it most.

Join as an individual or create a team and enjoy a safe, quiet route through Camosun College and the surrounding trails.

Important (and Delicious) Update for 2026

Trust us — you asked. We listened. After hearing loud and clear that the bacon was missed at last year’s pancake breakfast, we’re bringing it back — with a fun twist!

Participants who raise $150 or more will earn a well-deserved side of bacon with breakfast. That’s right — fundraising never tasted so good. It’s our way of saying thank you for going the extra mile (literally and figuratively). Rally your friends, share your fundraising page, and let’s make this year sizzle.

Because Father’s Day without bacon? It just didn’t feel right.

We need the support of our community more than ever.

Without government funding, we rely on the power of private donors who are willing to support us through monthly, annual, or one-time giving. As more patients access our services, we want to ensure we are here to help!  If you can give, please do. Consider a minimum $20 donation in support of our 23rd event!

We know men still need us and we want to ensure that we are here to help!

Thank you to our Sponsors
