The Santa Shuffle began 34 years ago in Edmonton, Alberta, to fundraise for local Salvation Army initiatives when local Running Room members decided to use their passion for running to raise money and support the less fortunate in their community. In 2001, the Santa Shuffle became a national event with locations in every province in Canada.

This family-friendly event in Calgary features a 5K Fun Run and a 1K Elf Walk, suitable for all ages and skill levels. Participants are encouraged to wear festive attire to celebrate the holiday spirit.
