Everyone is welcome—bring your friends and family along for a fun and active walk together!

Event Details

Start: 8:30 am outside Tim Hortons on the corner of Burnside & Douglas

T-shirt and Bib Pick-Up At PWP - Thursday, May 15 | 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM at PWP: Come by PWP to pick up your Douglas Mile T-shirt and bib ahead of event day! We’ll have a table set up with refreshments—and it’s a great chance to connect with fellow participants before the walk.

Bib Pick-Up (Day-Of): If you prefer, you can pick up your bib on race day at the start line. Volunteers will be set up from 7:30 to 8:15 AM—please arrive early to allow enough time before the walk begins at 8:30 AM

Finish: 9 am at City Hall

Note: Participants must be able to complete the mile within 30 minutes—but you won’t be alone! You're welcome to use walking poles, walkers, or manual wheelchairs—and there will be plenty of friendly volunteers available to lend a hand with pushing wheelchairs if needed. We’re here to support you every step of the way!

This year, 100% of pledges and donations raised will support Parkinson Wellness Projects. Help us make a difference and achieve our $75,000 goal by donating during registration or gathering pledges.
