| General Description : | The Canada Army Run is the fastest-growing run in the country and the second biggest in the capital region after the Ottawa Race Weekend. The Army Run debuted in 2008 with 7,000 participants. The money raised goes to the Military Families Fun, which supports families while soldiers are away, and another program called Soldier On, which helps those who are ill or injured. he medal is made to look like an necklace name tag commonly called DOG TAG Not only do the courses take you past scenic sites in Canada’s Capital – which is beautiful in September – Canada Army Run is unlike any other run in the country. From the cannon used as a “starter’s pistol” to the “dog-tag” medals soldiers place around all participants necks at the finish line, this unique event is “military” from start to finish. More than anything, though, Canada Army Run, is about Canadians and the Canadian Forces – Air Force, Army, and Navy – joining together in the spirit of camaraderie and mutual respect. It’s a chance for the troops to extend the military esprit de corps to Canadians and to thank them for their support. And, it’s an opportunity for Canadians to say thanks to the men and women who serve them in so many ways at home and abroad. |
