In a few months, the Canada Army Run Virtual will kick off its 2021 edition.

For the second year in a row, the run won’t begin at the Canadian War Museum nor in Canada’s Capital, Ottawa, but rather, anywhere and everywhere as it is virtual. Being part of this event is exciting; however, it is also quite different from the in-person event held on the streets of Ottawa-Gatineau. Keeping that in mind, the run committee is committed to ensuring participants get the full Canada Army Run experience. 

Each registered participant will receive a race kit that includes military-themed items.

When registering for the Sept. 10 run, participants can select a Canada Army Run exclusive merchandise item:  a race shirt with short sleeves or long sleeves or a hat. This year’s shirts have a new modern, sleek design that will keep participants stylish while they break a sweat. Shirts are darker compared to last year’s while still incorporating military-related elements such as the CADPAT camouflage pattern and the Support Our Troops yellow ribbon. The design also highlights the racer’s selected distance in a white maple leaf on the left sleeve. 

In addition to race gear, participants will find various items including a Canada Army Run race coin, a congratulatory letter from the Commander of the Canadian Army, and an exclusive sample of a hydration product. Registrants also get access to free monthly training races, a distance challenge, Remembrance Row nominations, and a virtual expo, which includes various offers from Canada Army Run partners.

Race kits will be mailed out to participants. People must register by July 11 at www.armyrun.ca. By doing so, Canada Army Run will do its best to ensure runners, walkers, and rollers receive their race kit on time for the virtual event. Be aware that issues related to the pandemic may lead to delivery delays. 

Once participants receive their kit, they are invited to wear their shirt before, during, and after the Canada Army Run Virtual event.

Show your support on social media by sharing pictures of you wearing your t-shirt and tagging Canada Army Run on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and using #ArmyRun and #NoOrdinaryRace hashtags.
