13th Annual Warm Hands Warm Hearts Run
The 13th Annual Warm Hands Warm Hearts Run is a community fundraising race that collects donations of warm winter items for the city's houseless population. The event takes place at the Alfred H. Savage Centre and Whitemud Park in Edmonton, Alberta on November 14, 2026.
The event offers several participation formats:
- 21 km trail race with sections of flat wide trail
- 10 km trail race
- 5 km family friendly run/walk on a trail that is 50% dirt, 50% paved
- Virtual option to run or walk on your own time
Donation and distribution details are provided by the organizer. Suggested backpack items include a toque, mitts, scarf, socks, toiletries, feminine hygiene items and a CA$5 coffee card. Used items are accepted and single items may be donated instead of a full backpack. Volunteers sort and organize donations and then hand them out to vulnerable and houseless people in the inner city. For safety, event participants will not hand out backpacks during the 2026 event.
The online donation cutoff is Thursday, November 11, 2026. Donations can also be brought to the race or to listed drop off locations; the main drop point is Flow Functional Health Centre at 6915 109 St, Edmonton. Team entries and kids pricing are offered for the family 5 km option. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
