Main Street Mile Charity Challenge May 11th - 18th, 2026 To celebrate Main Street closing to traffic for the summer, we’re kicking off the Strides Main Street Mile Challenge — your chance to race, repeat, and chase your fastest mile from May 11th–18th. Take on the 1 mile (1.62 km) stretch along Main Street as many times as you like. Go all-out for a top time or stack up attempts — there’s more than one way to win. And this year, every step counts for more. Strides will donate $1 to the Bow Valley Food Bank for every mile recorded throughout the challenge. So whether you’re running hard or cruising with friends, you’re giving back to the community with every lap. How it works:
Prizes up for grabs:
Whether you're chasing a PR, walking a lap, or just soaking up the energy of a car-free Main Street, this is your sign to lace up, get after it and give back to our community. |
