Calgary Peace Run Festival
Saturday, September 21, 2013 at 9:30 AM-12:30 PM
Festival Market Square, Eau Claire (between the Eau Claire Running Room and the Eau Claire YMCA)
Imagine a world where war machines are transformed into tools of life and hope. This is what the Calgary Peace Run Festival is aiming for! This event draws together people from all traditions and beliefs to bring us a step closer to a "just world at peace".
This unique festival is comprised of three compelling events in which all Calgarians can participate:
~ The Hiroshima/Nagasaki Floating Lantern Memorial: August 9th at Prince's Island lagoon. (8 - -10 PM)
~ Yoga for Peace: August 22nd, Olympic Plaza - free! (noon)
~Yoga for Peace Week at the Calgary Community Peace Pole - Sept 14 - 20.
~ Calgary Peace Run: September 21st, International Day of Peace (Zumba Warm-Up 9:30AM/Race Start 10:00 AM)
The Calgary Peace Run will feature: a Zumba warm-up; medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place overall and in all age categories; ribbons for all children 12 and under who participate; fantastic draw prizes; great food; musical entertainment; tie-dying t-shirts; facepainting & balloon animals for children.
We are excited to partner with Roots and Shoots from the University of Calgary this year. They will be having a 2 hour Yoga Jam immediately after the Peace Run (starting at 1:00) in support of the Yoga Africa Program. For more details and tickets, please go to http://www.calgarypeaceday.ca
2012 was a great start to this annual event! The 2012 First Annual Calgary Peace Run caught the imaginations of individuals, community organizations and businesses that envision a world of peace and nonviolence. Thanks to all who made it a great success.
Now - let's take it to a new level in 2013! You can register for the run through the Running Room at http://www.runningroom.com - or you can contact Karen at off...@ploughsharescalgary.ca or 403-270-7366 to register via cash or cheque.
We also encourage you to solicit sponsors for your run or walk - just ask Karen for the Sponsorship Form. Teams are also encouraged - get a group of your friends or colleagues together to run or walk for peace!
We will be donating 20% of the net proceeds from the run to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Flood Relief program.
