Rise: Run, Yoga, Meditate 2026

Rise: Run, Yoga, Meditate brings a Calgary morning of movement, mindfulness, and community to St. Patrick’s Island. The format is simple and social: a short walk or run, then yoga, then guided meditation, with a wellness market woven through the day.

Presented by Community Natural Foods and organized by RnR Premier Events, the event has a festival feel rather than a competitive-race tone. It’s a good fit for runners, walkers, and yogis who want an active Sunday with local vendors, music, and a relaxed pace. Races in Calgary
