Run Calgary is teaming up again with Calgary Pride to deliver a safe, welcoming and event experience before the Pride Parade on September 3, 2023 at 10:30am. Run or walk the parade route (in reverse!) in advance of the parade commencement, then join the start of the parade!
You will compete against others in heats based on your predicted finish time. Top Finisher Awards are awarded to the top 3 finishers overall, irrespective of gender or how you identify. Additional prizes will be randomly drawn and awarded to participants from all heats!
Race In-Person Sunday September 3, 2023
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.
