Run for Punjab 5k/10k

Step into the heart of Calgary's Confluence Plaza at St. Patrick’s Island Park on Saturday, October 3rd, 2026, for an inspiring day filled with community spirit and charitable giving. The annual Run for Punjab is a unique event that brings together runners, walkers, families, and friends to celebrate fitness while supporting important causes.
This year's edition features both a 5K and a 10K route through the scenic parkland of St. Patrick’s Island Park. Regardless of whether you choose to walk or run, every step counts towards making a difference in communities across South Asia. The event is designed for participants of all ages and fitness levels, emphasizing unity, compassion, and collective action rather than competition.
The course starts at The Rise area within Confluence Plaza, offering runners breathtaking views and the opportunity to enjoy Calgary's natural beauty while contributing to a meaningful cause. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottles as there will be no bottled water provided along the route or finish line.
Proceeds from this event directly support SAF International’s efforts in uplifting communities through education, housing, community development, and humanitarian aid across South Asia. By registering for Run for Punjab, each participant commits a minimum donation of $15 to SAF International alongside an additional fee covering administrative costs.
Parking is available at Confluence Plaza on the day of the event, ensuring easy access for all attendees. The self-timed nature of this run allows individuals and families to enjoy the experience at their own pace while contributing positively to society.
