Strides Run Streak is back for its 15th year!
Join us from November 25 to December 26 as we run or move 1 mile (or
more) every day in support of the Calgary Food Bank and Radiance
Society.
The goal of Run Streak is to encourage Calgary’s running community to
stay active and connected during the busy holiday season — all while
giving back to those in need.
You can drop off non-perishable food items and new, unused household
items at any Strides Running Store location in Calgary or donate online HERE.
