The Calgary First Responders Half Marathon is a fall race held in Calgary, Alberta, starting at St. Patrick’s Island Park at The Rise. Multisportscanada organizes it as part of the First Responders Half Marathon series. The event includes a 21K half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1K fun run. Staggered late-morning starts ensure different distances use the same race-day setup. The event acknowledges and supports first responders in the local community. The route follows Calgary’s Bow River pathway system, offering a city course along the river instead of closed suburban loops. The half marathon and 10K feature a four-person team category, with each team receiving an averaged time rather than a relay format. Participants receive chip timing, on-course fluid stations, a finisher medal, and post-race snacks. Series results have been recorded since 2015.

A Dash of Doom Halloween Race rajtja és célja Calgaryban, a North Glenmore Parkban van, a futók és gyaloglók pedig a Parking Lot O-nál gyülekeznek, a North Glenmore Park Road mellett. A Run Calgary szervezi ezt az éves halloweeni eseményt, ahol van Kids Race, 5 km walk/run és chipes időmérésű 10 km run. Családoknak, lazább futóknak, gyorsabbaknak és kutyával érkezőknek is kitalálták, a 18 and under fiataloknak pedig kedvezményes, egységes nevezési díj jár. Itt tényleg rámennek a Halloween-hangulatra: lehet jelmezben futni, a kutyák is beöltözhetnek, és díjazzák a legjobb egyéni, csoportos és kisállat-jelmezeket. A rajt előtti fesztiválon van free face painting, candy, photo booth, DJ, crafts és games, a pályán pedig candy aid stations is várnak. Az esemény az Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society javára gyűjt, és az első 10 évében több mint $82,000 jött össze állatvédelmi célokra. A Kids Race indulói érmet kapnak, az 5 km és 10 km résztvevői opcionális finisher medal mellett dönthetnek, a legjobb kutyajelmez pedig prize package-et kap, plusz helyet egy későbbi medal és shirt dizájnján.

Calgary's East Village hosts Canada's only official dedicated Onesie Run, starting at 618 Confluence Way Southeast. The event features short 1 km and 5 km routes, with cool fall weather selected to allow comfortable movement in onesies. This is an all-levels event where participants can walk, jog, or run. Budget-friendly youth and children entries are available for those 18 and under. The routes offer simple distance options, not a demanding race. However, prizes are awarded to the top three finishers in the kids' 1 km and all-ages 5 km. All participants receive a finisher medal and a swag bag. Previous swag bags have contained local gift cards from businesses like Great White Car Wash, Spolumbo's Deli, and Sport Chek. The run supports the Calgary Humane Society by raising awareness and funds. Leashed pets are permitted, aligning with the event's animal-welfare theme.
