Why Blitz?
Blitz Events was created to bring fun and unique events to Albertans through outdoor activities in both the winter and summer months. We strive to create a laid back atmosphere that is fun and memorable for all our participants and take pride in the fact that we are able to market to a diverse group of individuals who enter the Blitz Events for different reasons. Whether you are a beginner or experienced athlete Blitz Events puts on races that will satisfy everyone.
It is our goal that each year we have many returning participants and continue to grow in numbers. In order to ensure that we reach this goal, the Blitz organization takes all proceeds and puts the money back into each race to provide great race packages for all participants, finisher prizes for all age groups (both male and female), numerous door prizes, food and refreshments to participants and spectators after the event, and Blitz apparel for each participant.
