Begun thirteen years ago as a way of encouraging runners to stay active over the busy Holiday Season, the Strides Run Streak has quickly turned into one of our most anticipated events of the year. Join us as we burn off Holiday calories and fight the winter blues by running at least 1 mile per day (or longer), every day in December.
Post your runs, photos, comments, etc. on Facebook, Instagram or Strava showing your participation in 'The Streak' (#stridesrunstreak) and win prizes!
A big part of why we host the run streak is to help families in need through the holiday season. Our events are free to join in exhange for donations to the Calgary Food Bank or Calgary Immigrant Women's Association.
