RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES® ALBERTA’S
HUSTLE FOR THE HOUSE WALK/RUN
Join us as we celebrate the spirit of determination, resilience, and community with RMHC Alberta in a family-friendly athletic adventure where everyone can participate! From start line to finish line, each step provides support to families with sick children who have had to travel for pediatric care.
This event is meant to be shared with family and friends, knowing that each time you take a step you’re lifting the burdens faced by medical families who need to be close to each other.
Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta knows how to keep families together, and this event is your chance to spend time on the streets or trails with those you love, while making a big impact!
In fact – our Calgary event brings you up close and personal to the actual Ronald McDonald House where families and volunteers will be cheering you on!
Rally your friends, family, and fellow running enthusiasts, and get ready to HUSTLE FOR THE HOUSE!

Parents never expect to need a Ronald McDonald House, but we are there when families need us the most — during the serious illness or injury of a child. Over 65% of Canadians live outside of a city centre with a hospital, and must travel long distances for medical reasons. Our Houses in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and Medicine Hat provide a home-away-from-home for families so they can stay together during some of life's most difficult times. A Ronald McDonald House will save families hundreds or thousands of dollars on accommodation, transportation, meals, laundry, parking, and so much more, helping alleviate the tremendous emotional, financial, and physical burdens families face when they travel far from home for their child's medical treatment.
Last year, RMHC Alberta provided 22,200 nights of comfort to over 1,200 families from 296 communities across the province. We hope to see Hustle for the House participants from each community impacted by a Ronald McDonald House!
