The First Responders Half Marathon is an annual event held in multiple cities, including Calgary, to honor and raise awareness for first responders and the challenges they face. The event supports the Canadian Mental Health Association, Alberta Division, and the Centre for Suicide Prevention.
Participants receive a commemorative t-shirt, finisher medal, chip timing with live updates, post-race snacks, and eligibility for draw prizes. The race offers multiple distances including a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a 1K Fun Run, taking place on a scenic road course with aid stations available along the route.
