The 17th edition of Canada Army Run, presented by BMO, took place in Ottawa, where more than 14,000 participants took part in a variety of runs alongside members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Runners, rollers and walkers took part in events including 5K and 10K runs, a half marathon, the Sergeant Major’s Challenge and the Commander’s Challenge. The runs were kicked off by Lieutenant-General Michael Wright, Commander of the Canadian Army, and Chief Warrant Officer Christopher Robin, Army Sergeant Major. Virtual participation continues until September 27.
In addition to being an opportunity for Canadians to thank members of the Canadian Armed Forces who serve at home and abroad, Canada Army Run provides direct support to active military personnel, veterans and their families through funds raised by participants and donations to Support Our Troops and Soldier On.
The theme of Canada Army Run 2024, “Introducing the New Canadian Multi-Terrain Camouflage Pattern (CCAMP),” highlights the latest camouflage pattern adopted by the Canadian Army. This advanced design provides exceptional performance in a wide variety of environments where Canadian soldiers may operate, improving their ability to avoid enemy detection and increasing their operational effectiveness.
