Welcome to the pre-Pride Parade in-person LOVE IS LOVE MILE.
Run Calgary is teaming up with Calgary Pride to deliver a safe, welcoming and new event experience. Run or walk on the parade route just in advance of the parade commencement. Compete against others based on your predicted finish time. Register to begin in one of 4 heats based on your estimated finish time. Awards are based on your chosen heat and are irrespective of your gender or how you identify.
Enjoy the excitement and buzz of parade morning and run on closed downtown Calgary streets before joining the Run Calgary cheer zone to watch the Pride Parade.
Like all Run Calgary events, this is an inclusive event and everyone is welcome.
Fundraising for Calgary Pride and making fitness more accessible to the LGBTQ2S+ community, Love is Love Mile brings two exceptional communities together for the first time in person in 2022.
