Free & secure bag check is available and will open from 7:30 am - 11:30 am 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.
- 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
Bag Check Process on Race Day
- Bag Check will be marked by a visible tent when you arrive.
- Ensure your items are securely consolidated within your bag.
- Once you arrive at the Bag Check TentTo retrieve your checked bag, a volunteer will attach a tag to your bag with your bib number written on the tag.
- When you wish to retrieve your 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.
- 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.
