Event summary
Join the Wear Red Canada Movement Challenge on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in Ottawa, as we come together to promote women’s heart and vascular health! This national campaign encourages everyone across Canada to get moving and raise awareness about the importance of heart health for women. Participants can choose from a variety of movement goals, including a 5 km or 10 km run, or simply commit to 30 or 60 minutes of physical activity, all while engaging in their favorite activities—be it running, walking, hiking, or even dancing!
The challenge runs from February 13 to 28, 2026, and participants can complete their selected goal at their own pace, whether indoors or outdoors. Registration is open until the end of February, and those who sign up by the end of January will receive a special participant gift, such as stylish Wear Red Canada socks or a cozy fleece headband. This is a fantastic opportunity for friends, families, and coworkers to unite for a worthy cause, raise funds for women's heart health initiatives, and make a meaningful impact in the community. Let’s move together to support women’s health—because every step counts!
