Stomping Down Barriers For Mental Health

Langdon Walk & Run has had a bit of a change this year due to the timing of the paving of the parking lot in Langdon park. Instead of September - we are re-aligning the event with the anniversary of the Library and the event will take place in June 2026.

This year, we have added a few new features to our event - Teams and Fundraising! Get your whole family or work team involved and support our library in the process!

This family-friendly event supports our Library operations and is a truly fun part of our year! The planning committee is hard at work, ironing out the details so watch our website and social media because we will have more details coming very soon! Even better? Join the Langdon Walk/Run Facebook page to stay up to date!

Theme

The race theme for 2026 is BOOK CHARACTERS!

Come dressed as your favourite character or rally your crew and go big with a team costume. Think Hogwarts, Hobbiton, ACOTAR, or your own library-inspired look — the options are endless!

Heart Beats 17th Annual Fun Run & Walk

June 13, 2026 | Rosemont Community Hall & Confederation Park Pathway

It takes a community to support a child and their family with a heart condition, and on June 13, that community comes together.

Join us for Heart Beats Children's Society's 17th Annual Fun Run & Walk, a celebration of movement, connection, and every heart family who has needed their community to help them navigate what pediatric heart disease looks like for their family.

Choose your distance and show up your way:

• 5KM Fun Run — Start time 10:00 AM

• 3KM Family Walk — Start time 10:30 AM

Last year, our community raised over $90,000, and thanks to Rogers' Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink, more than $18,000 in additional matched funds meant our impact went even further. This year, we're reaching higher. Every registration and every dollar raised goes directly toward Heart Beats programs that provide connection, peer support, and meaningful moments of care for hundreds of children and families living with congenital and acquired heart conditions.

Whether you run, walk, or roll - your participation matters. And if you can't join us on the course, a donation in support of a participant helps ensure no family navigates a heart journey alone.

Kids' activity areas featuring CHAMPS Camp and Offbeats offer free, fun programming designed to get children moving and learning about heart-healthy living. Plus, enjoy face painting, cotton candy, popcorn, a balloon artist, and more on the day.

Together, we move. Together, we give. Together, we make sure every heartbeat and footprint counts.
