BEAT BEETHOVEN
Get ready for Beat Beethoven + Phil In the Park! For the seventh year running, Calgary Phil and Run Calgary have teamed up to bring you an afternoon of music and movement — this time at Prince’s Island Park on Sunday Sept 8 at 2pm!
Run, walk, or waltz a 4 km or looped 8 km course along the beautiful Bow River while the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra performs 50 minutes of Beethoven's best music. Challenge yourself to beat the clock and complete the course before the Orchestra finishes their first set! It's an exhilarating way to combine the thrill of physical activity with the joy of live orchestral music. Once you complete the course, runners and walkers are invited to enjoy an elevated experience in our VIP area, complete with wine and food.
Please see the 'Entry Fee Includes' section to see what is included in your registration fee. Note that the Beat Beethoven race experience is for adults only (18+).
** All fees associated with race registration are non-refundable.**
The in-person fees are higher than your regular fun run because this is an elevated running experience. Enjoy a unique run experience with a light meal, wine, swag and live music performed by The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra.
