2026 Calgary First Responders Half Marathon

Race with us in support of all First Responders

The Calgary First Responders Half Marathon is a beloved annual event that brings runners together in support of Calgary’s first responder community.
Each year, we celebrate the extraordinary contributions of the first responders who protect and serve our city, while raising awareness of the challenges they face every day.

We are honoured to pay tribute to the paramedics, firefighters, police officers, and public safety personnel who dedicate their lives to supporting others. Your participation helps us raise vital funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association – Alberta Division and the Centre for Suicide Prevention, supporting mental health initiatives for first responders and their families.
