Run bowness 2023 — sponsored by bloomculture


It was a Run Bowness for the books as we welcomed over 320 runners, walkers, and rollers to the BCA for a race through beautiful Bowness and Baker Parks.
The streets were lined with friends, family, and neighbours cheering the competitors on, and we all met together at the finish line for a post-race celebration with live music, a beer garden, and pancakes from the Bowness Lion’s Club!
Thank you to our 2023 title sponsor Bloom Culture for helping make the day possible, along with all of the businesses and organizations who contributed to the event: Bowness Lion’s Club, Bowness Soapworks, Car Star, City of Calgary, CPS, Planet Foods, The Rocking Kings, Running Room, Small Bits of Happiness, Startline Timing, St. John’s Ambulance, WayBack Burgers, Yoga in Bowness, and 7-11 in Bowness.
