Scotiabank Calgary Marathon: Support Us

Champions has joined the Charity Challenge with a goal of raising $5000 for our organization. Many members of our Champions team will be participating, but we are also looking for people to run with us and others to sponsor our runners and organization for the race.

There are several options available for those interested in running, including:

• Full marathon
• 1/2 marathon
• 10 km run
• 5 km walk and run

Are you interested in running with us and raising money to help shift perceptions of disabilities? Here is how you can participate:

3. Click on "Fundraise" then the "Sign Up" button and enter your information

4. Fundraise on your own or join a team and fill in your information

Now you can set up your own page and start fundraising!

1. Select a charity from the list on the left that you wish to support

2. Click on the "Fundraise" button
