Stocking Stuffer Holiday Walk/Run 2026

The Stocking Stuffer Holiday Walk/Run takes participants around Bowness Park in Calgary, each carrying an actual stocking. It's a short holiday walk/run, listed around 3.2 km in the main race information, with other descriptions suggesting 3 to 4.5 km. The emphasis is on family-paced enjoyment, not achieving a fast time. The route follows the park pathways, transforming the course into a moving treat stop where participants collect small items to fill their stockings. Families, friends, walkers, runners, and children are welcome. The finish includes additional holiday elements: a Christmas medal suitable for a tree ornament, a donut, and a hot drink like hot chocolate or warm apple cider. The event also benefits the Calgary Food Bank, adding a local charity aspect to the morning's activities.
