5K Before 240 - The Send Off to Moab

About the race
A community 5K meeting at Tality Wellness East Village in Calgary offers a social run along the Bow River followed by a recovery session with sauna and cold plunge. The run is presented as a send-off for a local Calgary ultrarunner who will compete at the Moab 240; the activity is described as an easy, social 5K rather than a race. The event includes contrast therapy after the run: access to sauna and a cold plunge. Sauna and plunge spots are limited, and attendees are asked to RSVP so organizers can plan capacity.
The gathering supports a charitable purpose: half of the funds raised for the ultrarunner at Moab will go to Hull Services, a Calgary charity that has worked with children, youth and families facing mental-health challenges since 1962. Practical items to bring include running shoes and weather-appropriate clothing, a bathing suit, and a water bottle. The location is Tality Wellness East Village, 606 Confluence Way Southeast, Calgary, AB. The format is in person and intended as a community send-off with an easy group 5K along the river and shared recovery time at the wellness facility.
