RBC Race for the Kids Calgary
RBC Race for the Kids is an annual fundraising walk and run in Calgary that supports children and youth mental health services, programs and research. The event has raised more than $4.1 million since it began in 2017 and contributed to the creation of The Summit: Marian & Jim Sinneave Centre for Youth Resilience, which opened in spring 2023.
The event has been held at Heritage Park for its first ten years and in 2027 moves to Spruce Meadows. Typical event elements reported in past editions include a family friendly walk and run, a pancake breakfast, kid focused entertainment, snacks, and participant items such as a race T shirt and a completion medal.
Funds raised through the event support community based mental health resources for children, teens and families, and are used for programs and research specific to youth mental health. The race also involves volunteers, sponsors and fundraising teams and recognizes top fundraisers and incentive draw winners as part of its community activities.
