As part of Earth Month, POW Calgary is inviting you to hit the streets with us for a community cleanup with purpose. We’ll be heading out for a relaxed run or walk while picking up trash in the areas around 17th Avenue and Lower Mount Royal.
The idea is simple: Take care of the places we love while spending time outside. So whether you run, walk, or something in between, this event is for you.
Stick around afterward for an exciting raffle with amazing prizes from Fjällräven and Arc’teryx. Red Bull will be there too, keeping the energy high throughout the event.
We’ll have bags ready for you — just bring your shoes, your good energy, and a friend or two if you like.
Spots are limited, sign up now and join the movement.
Event Details:
Date: April 27
Meet time: 5:00 PM
Move time: 5:30 PM (TBD)
Location: Fjällräven Calgary (on 17th Ave)
Après Run: Back at the Fjällräven store

Please bring your own gloves if you have a pair — old gardening gloves, ski gloves, or anything you don’t mind getting a bit dirty works great. (We’ll have reusable gloves available if you forget, but bringing your own helps us reduce waste and keep things simple.)
*If you are unable to donate at this time but would like to attend please contact the Calgary team via email
