The 'Run to Remember' is a 460 km relay that makes it's way through many communities between the start at the Ontario Police Memorial site in Toronto to the end at the National Memorial on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Not only does the run raise awareness about the Memorial Service it also gives peace officers and citizens along the route the opportunity to participate in some small way if they are unable to attend the actual Memorial Service.

For the runners that participate in the three day relay it is their way of fulfilling that pledge, that promise, that they will not forget those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their community, their province and indeed their country. The long and sometimes gruelling hours of running allow the participants the opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices of those brave officers whose names are etched on the Memorial Wall in Ottawa and their families who have had to endure the pain of their loss.

Participating agencies included in the core group of runners consisted of The Ontario Provincial Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Hamilton, Toronto, Barrie, Guelph, Peel, Halton, York, Waterloo, Ottawa and Durham Police Services along with members of Corrections, Canadian Border Services and ABLE.
