The Get Shit Done Run is a vibrant annual running event held in Calgary, Alberta, designed to motivate runners of all backgrounds to achieve their goals in a supportive and energetic environment. Founded by Richelle and Rose, the event has quickly become a favorite among local and visiting runners for its welcoming atmosphere, excellent organization, and focus on participant experience. The 2026 edition will take place on April 26th at Bottomlands Park, offering a scenic and accessible venue for all.

Participants can choose from three in-person distances—21.1 km (half marathon), 10 km, and 5 km—as well as a virtual race option for those unable to attend in person. The event is renowned for its high-quality swag, including custom socks, unique medals, and post-race treats, as well as its commitment to sustainability through a cup-less hydration system. With professional chip timing, pacers for various finish times, and a lively post-race celebration, the Get Shit Done Run delivers a memorable race day experience for everyone.

The Get Shit Done Run courses are designed for speed and accessibility, utilizing the paved Nose Creek Pathway. All routes are predominantly flat, with minimal elevation change, making them ideal for runners aiming for personal bests. The 21.1 km half marathon consists of two laps of a 10.5 km out-and-back route, while the 10 km and 5 km races each follow a single out-and-back format. The start and finish lines are located beside Telus Spark in Bottomlands Park, providing a scenic and convenient setting for runners and spectators alike.
