At the Women's Centre, we believe that all women must have their basic needs met. Join us on June 1 for the Calgary Marathon to help us reach our goal of raising $20,000 for our Basic Needs program. Race options include a 5km run or walk, 10km, half marathon or full marathon. Everyone is welcome!

Leading up to the big race day, you will be encouraged to ask friends, family, neighbours, co-workers (or anyone you can think of!) to sponsor your participation. If you are unable to join us for the event but are able to help us reach our goal, please click here.

This year, for the first time ever, the Women's Centre will be giving away some very exciting prizes to top fundraisers including round trip airfare for two to any scheduled WestJet destination, two round trip VIA Rail passes, a spa package at Swizzlesticks Salon & Spa, and fitness classes at Burlesque Burn.
