13th Annual Warm Hands Warm Hearts Run

About the Event

Warm Hands Warm Hearts Run returns to Edmonton's Whitemud Park on November 14, 2026, inviting runners of all levels and community members to come together for a meaningful day. The Alfred Savage Centre serves as the hub for this event, offering a range of distances: a challenging 21K trail race, an invigorating 10K run, and a family-friendly 5K walk.
Participants have the option to join in-person on November 14th or participate virtually from wherever they are. The day is not just about running; it's also a powerful initiative to support those less fortunate by collecting essential items for vulnerable individuals within Edmonton’s inner city community. Runners can fill backpacks with warm clothing, accessories like mittens and scarves, toiletries, feminine hygiene products, and even small tokens of comfort such as coffee cards.
For those looking to get more involved, the event offers several ways to contribute:
- Collect items for donation at home or through a workplace drive.
- Contact Bri Botsford ([email protected]) for larger donations and organizational support.
- Visit www.warmhandswarmhearts.ca to find drop-off locations across Edmonton.
Volunteers will sort, organize, and distribute the collected items directly to those in need. While participants won’t interact with beneficiaries during this event due to safety concerns, their contributions play a vital role in ensuring that vulnerable individuals receive essential winter gear and supplies.
Registration fees go towards purchasing new goods needed for filling backpacks, guaranteeing each recipient receives the same level of support and care. Additionally, runners can purchase pre-stuffed backpacks at registration; every dollar raised helps provide necessary items to those who need them most.
The event encourages community engagement by inviting friends, family members, or colleagues to form teams and participate together in this impactful initiative. Warm Hands Warm Hearts Run is more than a race—it's an opportunity for runners to make a tangible difference in the lives of Edmonton’s less fortunate during the colder months ahead.
For further information about registration, donation drop-offs, or event logistics, please contact Jen Hamel at [email protected].
