What started as a single race in New York in 2009, RBC Race for the Kids has grown into a series of 25+ events that take place around the world. More than 525,000 participants have raised over $84 million for youth charities across the globe.
RBC employees should register only through RBC’s dedicated registration process, which will launch internally to all RBC employees in March 2026. If any RBC employees have questions, reach out to rbcraceforthekids@rbccm.com.
