In the spirit of reconciliation and awareness, the Manitoba Runners’ Association (MRA) has developed a series of runs in a number of Indigenous communities.
The MRA is partnering with various Indigenous communities throughout Manitoba to recognize existing events & Treaty Day runs. We also hope to collaborate with other community organizers in the future, to help them grow their capacity to plan their own events.
The MRA will provide a beautiful and unique medal to any participant completing two or more of the events in the Series. This Series is open to people of all backgrounds, both Indigenous and others.
See below for the events included in this Series. Click on “learn more” for information about that event and a link to registration.
The following participants have won this beautiful medal for 2026! Medals will be awarded at the 2026 MRA Awards Celebration on November 29th:
