FAQ

❓ What is Be the Change?

It’s a community run (and kids’ Mini Run!) in Sundre, Alberta — raising funds for Burden Bearers Counselling, a local non-profit that provides mental health support to those in need.

​

 

🗓 When and where is it?

Date: Saturday, September 6, 2025
Start Time: 10:00 AM
Location: Snake Hill in Sundre, Alberta
Look for signs and volunteers when you arrive. We’ll send a route map to all participants by email the week of the race.

​

 

👟 Who can participate?

Anyone! Adults can join the 3K Run/Walk or the 6K Run, and children are welcome in the Mini Run. Families are encouraged to come out together.

​

 

💧 Is this a timed race?

This is a fun run, not a formal competition. We'll have volunteers keeping track of bib numbers for top finishers, but the focus is on participation, not pace.

​

 

🧼 What’s the foam pit all about?

At the end of the race, you’ll have the option to celebrate with a run through the foam pit! It’s non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and totally optional.

​

 

🎽 Is a t-shirt included?

Yes! All participants receive a Be the Change t-shirt and a positive affirmation bracelet.
Register by August 15 to guarantee your shirt size.

​

 

🧾 How do I sign the waiver?

The waiver is built right into the registration form and must be signed digitally before you can complete payment.

​

 

🚗 Where do I park?

Free parking will be available near the school and field. Specific details and a map will be emailed to all registrants closer to the event.

​

 

🧃 Will there be water or food?

Yes — water stations will be available along the route, and light snacks will be provided after the run.

​

 

👨‍👩‍👧 Can I bring a stroller or walk the Adult course?

Absolutely. This is a family-friendly, go-at-your-own-pace event. Strollers are welcome on the 3K or 6K course.

​

​

❌ Can I cancel or get a refund?

We understand that plans change — but since this is a fundraising event, all registrations are non-refundable. Your fee will still go directly toward supporting mental health services through Burden Bearers, even if you're unable to attend.

​

If you can’t make it, you’re welcome to:

• Transfer your registration to someone else (just contact us to update the info), or

• Still pick up your t-shirt and bracelet as a thank-you for your support!

​

*If we need to cancel the event (for any reason), of course you'll get a refund!
