RCAF Run

RCAF Run

On 1 April 2024, the Royal Canadian Air Force marked 100 years of service as a distinct military element. The Centennial milestone provided the RCAF a unique position to honour its distinct heritage, recognize its tremendous people, and generate excitement for its bright future.

The RCAF Run is a Centennial legacy activity that connects current and former military and their families with Canadians, at home or abroad, through sports and fitness. The event is an opportunity to experience both the camaraderie and aircraft that make RCAF unique. We welcome participants of ALL abilities and fitness levels to achieve your fitness goals at your own pace!
