4. Do we have to complete the full 6K?
While billed as a 6-km walk/run, RBC Race for the Kids is designed for everyone. Start times will
be staggered so the pathways don’t get too congested and families with small kids and strollers
can go at their own pace. There will be opportunities to cut the race shorter and turn back if the
little ones aren’t feeling up to completing the circuit.
5. How can I fundraise for RBC Race for the Kids?
Once you have registered for RBC Race for the Kids, you will receive a confirmation email with a
link to your very own participant page. We recommend bookmarking your participant page for easy
access, or click “Login” at the top of the RBC Race for the Kids homepage and enter your details.
Once you log in to your participant centre, you can send emails directly from the site by
customizing the built-in templates to ask for donations and thank your donors. You will use the
login details that you created during your online registration to access your participant page.
6. Is there a minimum amount to fundraise?
We encourage participants to fundraise in new and innovative ways, as every dollar will help us
reach our goal and help the kids who need it most! When you register, a personal fundraising goal
of $50 is automatically set. You can set your own target for any amount you choose on your
fundraising page – dream big to support the critical youth mental health resources that are needed
now more than ever!
7. How do I get to the race? Is there parking?
Heritage Park is conveniently located just 20 minutes from downtown Calgary with parking onsite.
Heritage Park is typically busy, and we’re planning for a full event, so we do encourage carpooling
or using public transportation if possible – Click for Directions. For parking onsite, participants will
be given a code to register their vehicle at the pay stations to bypass the parking fee.
8. Can I walk or bring my stroller? What about a bike or roller blades?
The 6K event is designed for walkers, runners and strollers. If you require the use of your stroller
during the run, we ask that you start at the back of the pack for everyone's safety and enjoyment.
With hundreds of kids and adults on the pathways, we ask you to leave the scooters, bikes, and
rollerblades at home.
9. Is the event accessible to wheelchair users?
Those using wheelchairs are very welcome to participate. The route is paved and therefore fully
accessible. Please be aware that there are two small hills along the route.
Heritage Park is also wheelchair accessible with the exception of one of the historical houses. It
should be noted the Park is a mix of gravel roads and boardwalks, reflecting the historical time
period.
