Kelowna’s Gospel Mission (KGM) is hosting its 14th Annual Strides Event, taking place on Saturday, May 10th, 2025 at Metro Hub, 1265 Ellis St, Kelowna, BC. This powerful peer-to-peer fundraising event invites the community to walk or run—2km/5km Walk or 5km/10km Run—to help raise critical funds for programs that support Kelowna’s unhoused community.
As summer approaches, the dangers for those living without shelter become even more severe—extreme heat, dehydration, sunstroke, and limited access to safe, cool spaces pose real and growing threats.
KGM says its goal is simple: rally the community, raise vital funds, and save lives.
Registration opens at 9:00 am, and the walk/run kicks off at 10:00 am. All proceeds go directly toward life-changing programs at Kelowna’s Gospel Mission.
Troy McKnight, Director of Resource Development at KGM says, “ I love Strides because it brings our entire community together as we walk/run in solidarity with and for our unhoused neighbours. From avid runners, to walkers, to families with small children, to seniors – everyone is welcome, and everyone can make a difference! The vibe is so positive and joyful! Strides always leaves me smiling and filled with gratitude for our community “
