Organiser's Description
6th Annual Run/Walk to honor our little ancestors who did not survive the Residential school era and in support and solidarity for the survivors who fight every day for healing and justice. This event aims to raise funds for the Orangeshirtday.org as well as local grassroots movements including promoting and supporting Indigenous athletes. This will be a combination of pavement and trail run through the beautiful YEG river valley trails starting at Kinsmen Park and includes three distances of 5 & 10 km and a Elder/Kids 2.15 km. The cancellation policy can be found on our website Indigenous Runner | Red Trail RunningAll are WELCOME!Not eleven years ago, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada had estimated that more than 4,100 Indigenous children have perished due to “disease or accident while attending a residential school", yet we know that number is much much higher. Tragically, ongoing investigations have revealed thousands more unmarked gravesites near to, or on the grounds of Canada’s former residential schools. Please join us again on Sunday September 27th in remembrance and to spread the TRUTH and to yell loudly that. EVERY CHILD MATTERS!and lets RunConciliAction together.
