What is a
Recreation for Life Walk/Run?
A
Recreation for Life Walk/Run is a fun event. It is sometimes
referred to as a community Walk/Run, or a Mayor’s Walk/Run (W/R).
Ideally, it comprises of a 2.5 km walk and a 5 km run, staged in any
municipality in Alberta. Adults, children and youth, regardless of
their level of fitness, are all encouraged to participate.
The
Walk/Run is designed to allow a municipality to publicly demonstrate
its commitment to the promotion of recreation, fitness and healthy
lifestyle choices in the community. By hosting such an event, the
municipality demonstrates its desire to work with recreation sector
and local charitable organizations to help them achieve their
financial goals. A Walk/Run is usually organized on behalf of a
municipality by the local Recreation Department and/or a community
organization in conjunction with the Recreation for Life Foundation.
