As the city filed it
The Bum Run event began ten years ago to raise public awareness of the fact that 90 percent of colon cancer deaths are preventable by early diagnosis. Through collaboration with surgeons, hospital staff, friends and families the event was created in order to raise funds for early diagnosis clinics, facilitation and awareness of the benefits of preventative action. The Bum Run is the only Toronto-hosted event that is registered as 100 percent non-profit.

All funds raised are used toward the cause, cure and awareness campaign. The Bum Run is an unpaid volunteer event. Although there is a fundraising registration fee for a timing chip, it is an open, no-fee event. All are invited to participate in the event for free by simply showing up. The user fee charged for an Athletic Event for permission to fully or partially close/occupies an expressway, major arterial, minor arterial and collector roads for the purpose of holding an Athletic Event increased to $3,870.46 per event.
