Heart Beats 17th Annual Fun Run & Walk
June 13, 2026
VENUE CHANGE The Fun Run and Walk will be hosted at East Lake Park in Airdrie.
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.
