Albertans Helping Albertans Virtual 5K

The Alberta Cancer Foundation has launched a virtual, province-wide fundraiser taking place during the entire month of May. The Albertans Helping Albertans Virtual 5K is a campaign that will raise funds for the 17 Alberta Health Services cancer centres across the province, by encouraging participants to individually run or walk a minimum of 5 kilometers in support of the cancer centre in their area, from Calgary, to Edmonton to Fort McMurray and Red Deer. Fundraising for this exciting event can start immediately and the race runs from May 1 – May 31, 2020.

Registration is now open and free for individuals under 18 years old, and $20 for all other participants. The first 300 people who register and complete their run or walk will receive a medal. This event is a fun and safe way to practice social distancing while supporting fellow Albertans facing cancer. Whether you are an avid runner whose previous events with the Foundation have been postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, a beginner debuting your running career, or an Albertan wanting to walk to make a positive difference in your community, this event is suitable for all groups and ages.
