Run Calgary is teaming up again with Calgary Pride to deliver a safe, welcoming and event experience before the Pride Parade on September 1, 2024 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 1, 2024

- All registration fees are non-refundable. No refunds, transfers, medical comps or deferrals under any circumstances.

- Protect your purchase by enrolling in the Race Roster Enhanced Refund Protection Program. Participants that enroll in the refund program will be refunded if they are unable to attend due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances, such as injury & illness, COVID-19, severe weather, work travel conflict, layoffs/termination or mechanical breakdown.
