Saturday: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Sunday: 7 a.m. – 1 p.m – Canadian War Museum. This fun, interactive area will be filled with free activities and refreshments for kids and families. Bounce on one of the play structures, make your way through an obstacle course as part of the Juno Challenge (in partnership with OCR Academy), sit in an Army truck with one of the soldiers and get your face painted! These are just some of the fun things happening in the BMO Kids’ Zone. You’ll also have a chance to meet Juno, the Canadian Army mascot, BMO Bear and some of their other furry friends. Hope to see you there! 
The Running Room Expo at Canada Army Run will once again be housed in a military-style 18,000-plus square foot tent that will be open all weekend long.

Military music has and continues to play a vital role in the history and heritage of the Canadian Army. As such, we at the Canada Army Run are honoured to share the sounds of military music with our participants and volunteers, making this unique event “military” from start to finish. We will also be introducing a number of local and regional bands/musicians over the course of Army Run Weekend. Staying true to the military theme, at least one member from every group is either a retired or serving member of the Canadian Armed Forces, or employed with the Department of National Defence. The performances will take place on the Canada Army Run main stage located on the grounds of the Canadian War Museum or along the course route.
Friday, September 20 3:00–8:00 p.m. Saturday, September 21 10:00-6:00 p.m. Sunday, September 22 9:00-12:00 p.m.
Canada Army Run Fundraiser Reception in support of the Support our Troops and Soldier On funds
This year, Canada Army Run is hosting a Fundraiser Reception to celebrate and thank participants for their fundraising efforts. On September 21, the efforts of 90 amazing fundraisers* will be rewarded with an invite to a night of thanks, stories and meeting the individuals that supporters, like you, have impacted.

Invitations will be sent by email on September 13th. Share your pledge page, tell your story and continue to make a difference to attend!

When the Canadian Army needs to get from one place to another, it depends on its highly versatile collection of vehicles. Throughout Canada Army Run Weekend, you’ll have a chance to see lots of Army vehicles and other equipment. Check them out and take the opportunity to chat with the soldiers who use this equipment on the job every day. 
Throughout the years and the many wars and conflict, Canada’s military participated with honour and distinction. To help preserve our history and remember the past, re-enactors and historical enthusiasts collect and display authentic antique and professionally reproduced military uniforms and equipment. There will be a number of re-enactors dressed in First World War, Second World War and other military uniforms on the grounds of the Canadian War Museum. Also showcased will be impressive static displays of military memorabilia presented by private historical collectors.
Free bike parking*.
