What is RUN YOUR LUNGS OUT?
RUN YOUR LUNGS OUT is a 24-Hour Treadmill Challenge in support of the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
Our goal is to raise money and mobilize + inspire our community to create awareness of lung cancer through physical activity. Everyone has been touched by this devasting disease and by coming together we can create positive energy and generate funds to support the research and treatment of lung cancer in Manitoba.
Run Your Lungs Out was born by two Winnipeg philanthropist community members named Jonathan Torchia and Junel Malapad who both wanted to test their personal limits, and run for 24 hours on a treadmill with a goal to complete 100 miles ( 160kms ) each and raise money for CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
In its inaugural year in 2018, RUN YOUR LUNGS OUT had four treadmills occupied by 96 different runners going nonstop for 24 hours straight. Both Jonathan and Junel completed 100 miles in those 24 hours. The event was hosted inside the lululemon store at the outlet mall. In addition to our dedicated runners, we also hosted two spin classes, two yoga classes and live streamed the Winnipeg Jets playoff game – creating an electric atmosphere. Visitors to the event reached the thousands, all stopping by to cheer and support the event. At the end of 24 hours we had raised over $40,000.
In 2019, RUN YOUR LUNGS OUT took things to the next level and moved to Centre Court Polo Park. We doubled our treadmills to eight, with 384 runners keeping them going for 24 hours straight in 30 minute increments. We again hosted two spin classes, and two bootcamp classes. With our new location at Centre Court Polo Park, our audience was astronomical, and we almost tripled our donations to $114,000.
Enter 2020. We were weeks away from the event taking place in April, and like everything else in 2020 we had to postpone, and ultimately cancel the event. With everything going on around us locally and around the world, we were left devastated to have to cancel due to the pandemic. We put the event on a hiatus as there was still so much uncertainity as we went into 2021, and even the early stages of 2022.
So here we are! We are very excited and eager planning 4 years later for a comeback in April 2025 to continue where we left off – raising more money for CancerCare Manitoba Foundation all while putting on this grand event!
