Free & secure bag check is available and will open from 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm on race day. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes to check your bag.
We have stopped providing single-use clear plastic bags for Bag Check, as part of our commitment to making all Run Calgary race events more environmentally sustainable. As a result, all of your gear must be contained within your own bag. The bag you choose to use must meet the size requirements and specifications listed below. Bags that do not meet these requirements will not be accepted.
Bag Check Requirements
Bag dimensions cannot exceed 20 inches (51cm) X 12 inches (30cm) X 8 inches (20cm).
Bag weight cannot exceed 10 pounds (4.5kg).
Your bag must have a strap/handle to which the Bag Check Tag can be easily attached.
Bag must have Bag Check Tag securely fastened and visible.
When you receive your Bag Check Tag at Package Pick-up, ensure your bib number is clearly written and that the number is correct.
Loose gear will not be accepted and must be contained within your own bag.
Recommended bag types: drawstring bags, backpacks, small duffle/gym bags.
Restricted bag types: suitcases, hockey bags, oversized backpacks/duffle bags.
Prepare for Any Weather
Our races have been known to continue through rain and snow! Our Bag Check area is often not protected from the elements, so if there is some precipitation on the horizon, we recommend you prep your Bag Check bag accordingly. This may mean ensuring your bag is waterproof (or covered with a waterproof shell/bag) and taking extra precautions when putting valuables or electronics inside your bag.
Bag Check Process on Race Day
Bag Check will be marked by a visible tent when you arrive at our race venue.
Ensure your items are securely packed in your bag (loose items will not be accepted), and that your Bag Check Tag is securely fastened and visible.
To retrieve your checked bag, you (or someone else on your behalf) must show your race bib to the Bag Check volunteers. Volunteers will reference your bib number in order to retrieve your bag.
Bag Check Hours for Beat Beethoven are:
Open: 1:00 pm
Close: 4:30 pm
Any bags not picked up by the time Bag Check is closed will be taken to Run Calgary HQ (1515 Highfield Crescent SE #17, Calgary, AB T2G 5M4) and kept for 14 days before being donated to charity. Event Organizers assume no risk for items checked or left behind.
