The We Got Your 6-km returns to Central Park in Spruce Grove, Alberta on Saturday, October 3rd, 2026. This event is more than a race; it’s an opportunity for the community to support first responders and their mental health. Central Park offers stunning scenery with its rolling hills and greenery. On race morning, expect crisp autumn air as runners gather in the early hours under clear skies, providing visibility that makes for comfortable running conditions. The park's pathways are firm yet slightly soft, ensuring a steady pace without any risk of slipping or tripping hazards. The We Got Your 6-km has been running since its inception, marking several years and attracting dedicated participants each time. In the past, over 500 individuals have taken part in this event, raising significant funds for peer support programs and specialized suicide prevention trainings specific to first responders. This race matters deeply as it directly impacts the well-being of our local heroes. The course follows Central Park's main path, beginning at the central entrance off 124th Street NW. The terrain is primarily flat with slight undulations that add a bit of challenge but not enough for runners to slow down their pace significantly. A rucking category offers an extra layer of difficulty for those looking to take on more weight in their packs or vests, symbolizing the additional burden first responders carry daily. At 10:45 AM, participants can warm up with our fitness partners before the race starts at precisely 11:00 AM. The route ends back at Central Park’s main entrance where a wellness village awaits with health and wellness vendors. This area is perfect for stretching or simply enjoying the post-race atmosphere. Weather conditions on October 3rd will likely feel cool but comfortable, with low UV index indicating minimal sun exposure risk. Temperatures are expected to range from about 10°C at dawn to around 20°C by midday. The firm and slightly soft trail ensures a safe run despite any morning dew or light mist.
