About the race
The Stocking Stuffer Holiday Walk/Run is a seasonal 3.2 km event on 29 November 2026 at Bowness Park (8900 48 Ave NW, Calgary). Participants carry a stocking along the route and collect stocking stuffers at stations placed on the course. The event provides each registered participant with a stocking, stocking stuffers along the way, and a finisher's medal that can be used as a tree ornament. Post-event provisions include a large gourmet apple fritter from Doughnut Party, hot chocolate, music, and an announcer.
The event is not timed. This is an all-ages event. Anyone aged 3 and older on course must be registered. Children under 2 are not required to register but will not receive a stocking, stocking items, or post-event food.
All children under 12 must remain within one arm's length of a parent or guardian at all times. Dogs are welcome but should be kept on a short leash because part of the route uses a narrow pathway with runners in both directions. Package pick up is offered on November 28 at Plintz Real Estate and on November 30 at Bowness Park (picnic site 3). The event is partnered with the Calgary Food Bank; participants are asked to bring one or more donation items from the Food Bank wish list.
There are no refunds. Registrations may be rolled over to 2027 for a $25 fee before November 1, 2026, or transferred to another racer for a $10 fee; after November 1 rollovers are not permitted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
