Wear Red Canada Movement Challenge
Move with purpose. Move together. Move for women’s heart and vascular health!
The Wear Red Canada Movement Challenge is a national campaign inviting people across Canada to get moving, raise awareness, and help drive meaningful change for women’s heart and vascular health.
When: Between February 13 and 28, 2026
Choose Your Challenge*
Pick one movement goal to complete during the challenge period:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 30 minutes of movement

Where: Anywhere! Outside in the winter air, inside at home, at the gym, on the trails, in the pool, or wherever movement fits into your day. Every step, stretch, and minute adds up!
How You Move: Running, walking, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, yoga, dancing, or something entirely your own. Choose what feels good and keeps you moving.
Tip: You can break your challenge into smaller sessions and add them together to reach your total.

Why This Matters?
Heart and vascular disease is the number one killer of women worldwide and the leading cause of premature death in women in Canada. One in three women is affected, yet women continue to be under-studied, under-diagnosed, under-treated, and under-aware.
The Wear Red Canada Movement Challenge brings awareness into action, offering a simple, accessible way to move, learn, and contribute to lasting change.

The Canadian Women's Heart Health Alliance is a network of experts and advocates from across Canada aiming to improve women's cardiovascular health across the lifespan.
