OPIC’s Pork for a Cause Hog Jog is a 3.5km run/walk and 10km run held each year during the Ontario Pork Congress. The Hog Jog originally began in 2005. The 2026 Hog Jog is proud to support The Emily Murphy Centre, a Stratford based organization dedicated to supporting women and children who have experienced violence. The Emily Murphy Centre provides safe housing, counselling, advocacy, and outreach programs designed to meet the unique needs of women and children in crisis or after a crisis. Demand for violence-against-women services continues to grow, practically in rural communities where access to supports can be limited. Increased awareness and community involvement play a critical role in ensuring survivors know where to turn for help. By partnering with The Emily Murphy Centre, the Hog Jog aims to shine a light on these essential services while helping to strengthen support for some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Funds raised through the 2026 Hog Jog will directly support the installation of five donated tiny homes, a transformative project that will expand the Emily Murphy Centre’s housing capacity for families fleeing unsafe and life-threatening situations. Hog Jog proceeds will help cover essential infrastructure costs such as utility connections, enabling these tiny homes to become safe, fully functioning living spaces. This expansion will allow the Centre to provide refuge to more families while continuing to offer holistic supports including counselling, advocacy, and connections to community resources.The Hog Jog planning committee is honoured to champion this important initiative and excited to bring the community together for a fun, meaningful event that creates lasting impact. Together, Hog Jog and The Emily Murphy Centre are working toward a safer, more supportive future – one step at a time! The 19th annual charity run/walk and pork dinner will be held the evening of Wednesday, June 17th, 2025 at the Stratford Rotary Complex (353 McCarthy Road Stratford). This is a family fun event for runners of all ages.
