The Run to End Endo took place in Dartmouth on Saturday, May 30, 2026, drawing participants from across the Halifax area to support individuals living with endometriosis. The event, captured by Carl Pomeroy of CTV Atlantic, aimed to raise awareness and funds for research and support services related to the chronic condition.
Endometriosis affects millions of women worldwide, causing severe pain and fertility issues. The Run to End Endo provides a platform for community solidarity and education about the disease. Organizers expressed gratitude for the turnout and emphasized the importance of continued advocacy.
Participants walked or ran along the Dartmouth waterfront, with many wearing yellow to symbolize endometriosis awareness. Local businesses and health organizations set up booths offering information and resources. The event also featured personal stories from those affected, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of living with endometriosis.
Funds raised will go toward local support groups and research initiatives. The run is part of a broader movement to end the stigma around endometriosis and improve healthcare outcomes. Organizers hope to make it an annual tradition, expanding reach and impact.
