Action Dash 2026

Edmonton is a city shaped by people from around the world, and Action Dash is a chance to celebrate that diversity together. On June 27, 2026, Action for Healthy Communities (AHC) is hosting a charity run.

Taking place in Edmonton at William Hawrelak Park, Action Dash is an annual fun, community-focused charity run. It is organized to support healthy living for all members of our community. We have three events: our 5km and 10km timed events, and our just-for-run 1km event.

Action Dash invites people of all ages and backgrounds to run, walk, and show support for programs that uplift newcomers and strengthen community connections.

After the race, we will also have food, a cultural marketplace, music, and a celebration of our shared communities. Bring your friends, family, and cultural pride as we move together for a stronger, more welcoming city.

If you run every week, or you have never done a fun run before, you are welcome at Action Dash!
