FAQ

❓ What is Be the Change?

It’s a community run (and kids’ Mini Run!) in Sundre, Alberta — raising funds for Burden Bearers Counselling and The Den S.Y.C., two great local non-profits that make a difference in our community.

​

 

🗓 When and where is it?

Date: Saturday, September 12, 2026
Start Time: morning, to be announced
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?

Not this year. But they will be available to purchase, if you like. We are looking at some fun things to include in the race packages for our participants, though.

​

 

🧾 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 and The Den SYC, 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 race package as a thank-you for your support!

​

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