Is this a family friendly event?
You bet! We have youth-sized shirts, so you can wrangle up the whole family to participate together. Additionally, if you register three or more participants in one transaction, you automatically receive a group discount of 10%.
Do I need to run or walk all at once or can I break up the kilometers throughout the duration of the challenge?
From July 5 - 14 2024, participants of the Flapjack 15 work towards walking or running a total of 15 kilometers. You can choose to run 15 KM all in one day, walk a few KM’s each day, or anything in between. How you split up the distance is totally up to you! If you plan to break up the kilometers throughout the duration of the race period, you will not be able to track your race using the Runkeeper race option and/or use its associated features. You can still use the Virtual Results Leaderboard - just track your cumulative time and post the total.
Where do I run/walk my 15 km?
You can run/walk your 15 km anywhere, on any surface and any time between July 5 -14, 2024. Did you know that the pathway around the Glenmore reservoir in Calgary has a 15 km route?
How do I track my run or walk?
It is not not mandatory to track your time for the virtual race.
For those who wish to track their time, there are a number of tracking options, including Runkeeper which syncs automatically to your Race Roster account and the Leaderboard.
Tracking your time but don't want to use Runkeeper? You are welcome to run or walk using your favorite app or a good old fashioned watch. You will just need to ensure you make a note of, or take a screen-capture or picture of your finishing time. You will then need to manually upload your time and optional screenshot/picture to the Leaderboard.
Are there prizes for this event?
There will be prizes for posting pictures and tagging us on social media. You can also win prizes for fundraising. When you fundraise a minimum amount for any charity supported by a Run Calgary event you are eligible to win prizing. Fundraise to any of the levels listed and be entered to win at every level you achieve ($50, $100, $250). There will also be a fundraising prize awarded to the top individual fundraiser. Fundraising winners will be announced the week following the event date.
Where do the funds raised go?
- Flapjack 15 is proud to support the Youth Centres of Calgary (YCC). YCC focuses on reducing the effects of poverty and addressing the real and urgent problems associated with youth growing up in Calgary’s tipping point communities. YCC concentrates specifically on youth who are economically and socially disadvantaged in grades 6 to 10 in communities where youth have insufficient access to healthy food, developmental opportunities, and activities. The YCC model is to operate centres from a home-like environment that provides a free after-school “home away from home” for an average of 45 vulnerable youth every day.
