The Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women is a celebrated national event series dedicated to supporting women's mental health programs across Canada. Since its inception in 2013, the series has raised over $23 million for local mental health charities, making a significant impact on the lives of women and their families nationwide.

The Calgary edition of the Run for Women takes place at Edworthy Park, offering a scenic and supportive environment for participants. The event is inclusive, welcoming runners, walkers, wheelers, and individuals of all ages and genders.

Participants can choose from a 1K "Little Steps" run/walk for children, a 5K run/walk, or a 10K run/walk. Each participant receives a generous swag bag, including a technical t-shirt and a Run for Women UNSTOPPABLE bracelet, making the event both memorable and rewarding. The Run for Women is more than just a race—it's a community celebration of resilience, support, and empowerment.
