Shave Your Lid for a Kid
Shave Your Lid for a Kid is Kids Cancer Care's largest fundraising initiative, raising more than $9 million since its inception in 1998. The shave program is successful because of you. Each year, hundreds of Albertans like you shave their heads for our kids. This bold move shows moral support for the kids who lose their hair during cancer treatments, while raising money for camp, research, hospital and scholarship programs for young people affected by cancer.

The origins of the Calgary Police Half Marathon trace back to a conversation between two police officers out on a run together, late in the fall of 1979. They realized that half marathon races were fast becoming the standard in the running world and there wasn’t one in Calgary. Wanting to rectify this situation, they took their idea to the head of the police fitness unit, and together the group organized the first race, held on Sunday, April 27, 1980. Little did they realize they had started something that would become a fixture of the Calgary road running scene. Viewed by many as the first major run of the season, this run has a following like few others. Often the race becomes a true test of character with the ever changing weather conditions in Calgary.
2020 marks the 40th running of the Calgary Police Half Marathon. The goal of the Calgary Police Half Marathon Committee has always been to provide a premier race. Attention to detail and the quality of the performance awards and race give-aways have contributed greatly to the popularity of the race. The Calgary Police Service is a proud sponsor of the Calgary Police Half Marathon. The Service sees this event as just one more way to foster positive relationships with Calgarians.
