Join us in on Wednesday 18 December 2024 in the Southwest Calgary community of Glenbrook to participate or just celebrate the Holiday Season with us.

This year because of icy conditions instead of running we will be going on a short walk. Just come out and get into the holiday mood in some fresh air!

What is Run Santa Run!?

Run Santa Run is a fun fundraising event in support of Third Academy – www.thirdacademy.ca – a school for children with special education needs, LYNX –  www.lynx.education – our nature inspired program in Calgary, Cochrane, and Okotoks, and our Home Based Education Programs through ursa – goursa.education. Combined, we provide quality services to over 1200 ECS children and Grade 1-12 students in Grades 1 to 12 in Alberta and throughout the world.

Our first Run Santa Run! was held in 2010, with over 250 participants. This year we are expecting 300 participants who want to have fun in the spirit of Christmas and assist families to access quality educational services. Yes, we will all have the chance to dress up in Santa hats and walk or run… kinda silly, but why not!

All funds raised through Run Santa Run! 2024 are earmarked for enhanced programming for Third Academy, LYNX, and ursa students. We believe our programs should be accessible to all that would benefit from them, irrespective of a family’s financial circumstances.

Third Academy International Ltd. – also known as Third Schools – www.thirdschools.ca – is a registered charity #88694 2085 RR0001. At Third Schools, ‘It’s education, your child’s way’.
