The Salvation Army Santa Shuffle Fun Run & Elf Walk
Help Fight Poverty & Restore Dignity -
One Step at a Time!
at 10:00 am in Hawrelak Park
Edmonton, AB
Participate in 1K Elf Walk or 5K Santa Shuffle
This national race takes place in 39 cities across Canada and Santa Shuffle runners enjoy the last race of the season with a 5km Family Fun Run and 1km Elf Walk. Participants collect pledges for this event and the proceeds help women and children in crisis, feed and provide shelter for the homeless and help make Christmas a possibility for those in need.
Just like Santa, we take on big challenges. The gifts we give to vulnerable people include affordable housing, anti-poverty initiatives, elderly assistance, hospice care and addiction recovery programs. We don’t work just at Christmas – we make a difference to thousands across Canada every day of the year and to do this, we need your help. Together, we can change lives and offer hope.
