Blitz Events is a charitable organization that was created to bring fun and unique events to Albertans through outdoor activities in both the winter and summer months. We strive to create an 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. At our last event, the Blitz Duathlon on September 26, 2009, we were able to create an event that challenged more competitive athletes while at the same time provided a non-threatening atmosphere for those who had never previously completed a race. In fact, we had one participant who had signed up for 8 different races in her life and the Blitz Duathlon was the first one that she attended. The Blitz organization views success stories like this one as a sign that we are effectively pursuing our mandate. As we move forward with the Snowshoe Run it is our goal to positively impact even more participants and help inspire them with a feeling of accomplishment and pride.

The inspirational atmosphere that Blitz Events creates during each of our outdoor races is enhanced by the generous contributions from local sponsors. We feel that it is important to partner with local vendors who take an active interest in contributing to events that promote an active and healthy lifestyle for Albertans. All donations made from sponsors are used to create a memorable and successful experience for our participants. 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 strives to provide all participants with a great race package, finisher prizes, and numerous door prizes given throughout the day, food and refreshments to participants and spectators after the event, and Blitz apparel for each participant.
