Earth Run & Fall Festival

The Rouge is home to many historic and significant travel paths. Indigenous peoples used these paths since time immemorial, running from community to community delivering messages, for protection, for ritual and for sport. Then, and now, Indigenous athletes are considered masters of distance running, and are counted among the most esteemed runners in Canadian history. In celebration of this proud and enduring legacy of Indigenous athleticism, Rouge National Urban Park invites visitors to reconnect with nature and follow in the footsteps of more than 10,000 years of human history within the Rouge Valley.

Move through the fall colours, get active and enjoy an array of cultural programming throughout the day.

Visitors can even bask in the beauty of our onsite pumpkin patch where you can consider bringing a pumpkin home with you, or fill your bellies with incredible food thanks to our vendors. There is something for everyone at this action-packed event.
