Join us once again this year on the closing day of Run for Life at the East Village Riverwalk next to the Simmons Building and George C. King Bridge. This is a pop-up gathering spot to connect with other Run for Life participants for walking, running, commemoration and conversation. All are welcome!
Team Captains & Run for Life supporters will be hosting casual 5km and 10km route meet-up stations, as well as other group activities (bring your dog for a tasty treat and romp around the East Village Dog Park with us, too!).
At 4 pm, we’ll host a 1 km memorial walk starting from the Run for Life tent in East Village.
Various organizations and workplaces are also hosting their own internal Run for Life teambuilding events across Alberta.
