Run Bowness
Run Bowness began as a resident-led event and has continued for over ten years. The Bowness Community Association took on the organizing role in 2019.
The race starts at the Bowness Community Centre and the route goes through Bowness Park and Baker Park. The event includes multiple distances:
- CARSTAR Bowness Calgary Kids Mile (free)
- Bowness Soapworks 5K
- Ackerman 10K
The event is supported by volunteers, local businesses and community partnerships. Registration fees cover some event costs while business sponsorships cover additional costs. All proceeds from registrations and sponsorships go toward event expenses and future Run Bowness races.
T-shirts are available by pre-order only, with sales closing on May 9, 2026. All registration fees are non-refundable. Race package pickup is managed by volunteers and takes place at the Bowness Community Association main office at 7904 43 Ave NW, with separate arrangements for out of town participants on race day.
