Habitat for Humanity – Raise the Roof Run

This was the first time Habitat for Humanity ran this event here in Okotoks and the organizers love it here and plan to make it an annual event.

The weather was perfect for the runners and everyone was in good spirits and raring to hit the beautiful trail by the river for a 5km or a 10km run.

When they returned and celebrated their running times they enjoyed a well earned bottle of water a banana and a burger fresh off the grill.

This run is to help build homes for the less fortunate in Southern Alberta. They are also in touch with Fort McMurray and will be providing help there as needed.


Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization working toward a world where everyone has a safe, affordable place to live. Its mission is to mobilize volunteers and community partners in building affordable housing and promoting home ownership as a means of breaking the cycle of poverty.

What a great cause to support.
