Run for L’Arche 2026

Run for L’Arche is more than just a race, it’s a celebration of inclusion, community, and friendship in support of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Now in its 16th year, this annual event remains L’Arche Calgary’s largest fundraiser, bringing people of all ages and abilities together to walk, jog, or run in support of a shared mission.

The 2026 Run for L’Arche, held on April 11 at Confluence Plaza, was a tremendous success. This year marked a record-breaking milestone, with approximately 470 runners registered, the highest participation in the event’s history. Together, participants, donors, and supporters helped raise more than $60,000 in support of L’Arche Calgary. This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors. We extend our sincere thanks to our title sponsor, Hudson Advisory Group — ScotiaMcLeod, a division of Scotia Capital Inc., Scotia Wealth Management, as well as Calgary Italian Sportsmen’s Dinner Association, Startline Timing, Strides Running Store, McLennan Ross, Shine 88.9 FM, ServPro, Matco Moving Solutions, 107.3 The Edge, Country 105, and QR Calgary 770AM.

With the continued support of our community, Run for L’Arche remains a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we come together.
