Strollers: We are a stroller-friendly race course! Please be advised that on-course hydration and finish line cookies are for racers only.

On-Course Nutrition: In an effort to reduce the waste and littering we have all seen at running events, the Get Shit Done Run is a cup-less event. This means that those paper cups that runners use to take a shot of water, soda, or electrolyte will not be available. Let's face it, we have all seen what a waste those cups are, and one single sip for a whole cup is ridiculous.

You must bring your own reusable cup.

Together we will save thousands of paper cups from being used, trashed, and possibly blown away littering our beautiful pathways.

5km (water, electrolytes)

❤️ 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
