5KM Colour Run or Walk

Get ready for a morning packed with colour, music, and smiles! 🎉

The Colour Run/Walk takes place on Saturday, May 30, starting in the morning, and features an approximately 5 km walk or run along the scenic trails of Harmony, a beautiful community in Rocky View County, right next to Springbank Airport.

The fun kicks off with a mass group colour toss before you even hit the course. Along the way, you’ll move through multiple colour stations where volunteers will shower you with even more colour. Once everyone crosses the finish line, we’ll wrap things up with one final epic group colour toss—expect a rainbow explosion and a whole lot of happy faces!

A DJ and MC will keep the energy high all morning long, and we’ll finish with prizes for best costume (individual, family, and team), plus plenty of amazing door prizes.

Think lots of colour, great vibes, and an unforgettable experience—you don’t want to miss it! 🌈✨

❤️ Why We Run: James’ Story

In February 2023, our son James was diagnosed with toxic shock syndrome at age 4. He required emergency life-support (ECMO), a program that only exists at the Alberta Children's Hospital because the Foundation raised the funds to pay for it.

Today, James is a symbol of resilience. We are committed to paying it forward so that the 100,000+ kids treated here every year get the same fighting chance. Every child deserves the best care possible.

Thank you for being part of our story and supporting this community.

The incredible ECMO program at the Stollery Hospital and James' story was featured recently on Global News: https://globalnews.ca/news/11730479/stollery-ecmo-program/

With love,

Matt, Dianne, James and Izzy

5th Annual Brookfield Residential Walk/Run

June 14, 2026

We are so excited to announce the details for the 5th Annual Brookfield Residential Walk/Run in the community of Rockland Park! This is a wonderful opportunity to get active, have fun and support our community.

You can join us for the Brookfield Walk/Run by choosing one of three routes: 1km fun run, 5km walk or run, and a 10km run. There will be treats, entertainment and more at the end of the event.

This year we have chosen to partner with the Calgary Food Bank as our charitable organization. Our goal is to get involved, create awareness, raise funds and collect food donations for an exceptional cause to fight hunger.

The Wild Rose Women's Triathlon is the #1 triathlon in Alberta! Paired with the very welcoming walk/run, this day is all about community.

This triathlon is a great triathlon whether it is your first or you are a seasoned triathlete. This welcoming, supportive environment makes for the best triathlon experience around.

Sprint: 750m swim - 18.5km bike - 5km run (team option as well!)

Super Sprint: 300m swim - 9.25km bike - 2.5km run

The walk/run is on the same course as the run portion of the triathlon and is perfect for those looking to try their first event or crush their 5km - we have space for everyone!
