NOTHING GIVES A MEDAL MORE MEANING THAN THE STORY BEHIND IT.

People run, walk, or roll in Canada Army Run for many different reasons. Some are trying to break records or achieve personal bests.  Some come in memory of parents or grandparents who spent their careers in the military, or of loved ones who lost their lives in the line of duty. Many are honouring sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, or mothers and fathers who are in the military today. Others come to salute Canada’s injured soldiers who participate in the 5K and half marathon events and demonstrate for all the true spirit of “soldiering on”. And thousands of others come to simply thank the men and women of the Canadian Forces for all they do at home and abroad.

Behind the “dog tag” medal that each participant receives when they cross the finish line, there is a story. We’d love to hear yours.
