Kidney March
100KM • Kananaskis – Calgary • Sept 11 – 13, 2026
Kidney’s May Fail. We Won’t.
Walk the farthest you have ever walked and raise the most you have ever raised to fight kidney disease and for organ donation.
THE LIFE YOU CHANGE MIGHT BE YOURS.
Walk 100 kilometers. Raise a minimum of $2,200. Whether you are marching the 100KM or supporting as Crew, you will change the lives of those around you and in turn, you might find you’ve changed your own. We ask you to march and crew united by the common purpose, to commit to raising the most money you can raise to truly make a difference towards improving the lives of those affected by kidney disease. Your support is crucial.
Kidney March is more than an event; it’s a movement of action and support. It brings together a community rallying for each other, offering an experience that rewards you in more ways then you thought possible. You’ll leave Kidney March with a unique sense of accomplishment, connections with others on similar kidney journeys, a deep sense of purpose and resilience, and the opportunity to make positive changes in the world around you.
Visit kidneymarch.ca to find out more about the cause, and how you can participate.
