Move for Mental Health - 5 Km Fun Run
Move for Mental Health is a 5 km fun run in support of the Alberta Mental Health Foundation. This is the 5th annual edition of the event. The route passes through the Whitemud ravine and the Aspen Gardens neighborhood in Edmonton, with a barbecue and prizes at the finish. All proceeds go towards the Alberta Mental Health Foundation to support mental health research, education, and care systems.
The course measures approximately 5.5 km and includes moderate elevation change as it descends into and climbs out of the ravine. Pets are welcome and encouraged to attend. The event is held in person and relies on volunteers for organization.
Registration is $20 plus tax and fees per runner. Additional donations made through the Alberta Mental Health Foundation may be eligible for tax receipts. The event is partnered with Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink to match donations up to 50 percent. Refunds are available up to seven days before the event.
