This event has grown into a vibrant community tradition, bringing people together to raise vital funds, share incredible energy, and make a lasting impact for the Foothills Country Hospice and the families it serves.

2k or 5k Hike:

Take part in our accessible, family and pup-friendly 2k or 5k walks along the scenic, paved Sheep River pathways in Okotoks. Perfect for strollers, wheelchairs, and scooters... everyone can join in!

5k or 10k Hustle Run:

Back by popular demand, the timed 5K and 10K Hustle runs are the only organized fundraising runs in the community this time of year! Designed by the Big Rock Runners, both routes offer a runner-approved experience along scenic river pathways.

Fun, Friends & Friendly Competition:

Form a team, bring the family, or walk with your pup! Level up your race-day experience by competing for fun prizes, including Best Dressed Team and Top Fundraiser awards for individuals and teams.

Help Us Reach Our Goal:

Your participation helps us aim for $100,000 raised to support our residents and families when they need it most. Every step counts!
