The Calgary signature event takes place at North Glenmore Park, beginning at the Weaselhead parking lot, and includes a memorial walk and a casual run/walk along a scenic ridge. Participants may also join pop-up events across Canada or take part virtually from anywhere by running, walking, biking, doing yoga, playing pickleball, or completing other physical activities.
Distances at the Calgary gathering include:
- 1 km Memorial Walk
- 5 km casual run/walk
Registration is open for individuals and teams; registrations of four participants or more receive a 25% discount when signed up together.
