Orange Shirt Day Run/Walk : event description
The annual Orange Shirt Day Run/Walk takes place on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in multiple locations, including Edmonton (River Valley Walterdale), Saskatoon (Rotary Park along the Meewasin Trail) and Peace River (Riverfront Park). The event is organized to remember children who did not survive the residential school era, to hold space for survivors, and to raise funds for local grassroots movements that support Indigenous athletes and provide safe spaces for Indigenous runners.
Every participant receives a custom orange shirt and a wooden finisher medal featuring a hand carved feather. The Edmonton course runs through groomed trails in the North Saskatchewan River Valley with a mix of wide track trail and some pavement. The Saskatoon course starts at Rotary Park and follows the Meewasin Trail with similar trail and pavement sections.
Offered distances include:
- 2.15 km Kids/Elder
- 5 km Run and Walk
- 10 km Run and Walk
If the event is cancelled because of weather or other unforeseen circumstances, registered participants are eligible for a 50% refund and will receive the 2026 finisher/swag item(s) or may roll their registration to 2027. No other refunds are permitted. Registration is noted as open on Race Roster. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
