2019 3rd Annual “Sarc Walk” – Walk to Support Sarcoidosis
Our 3rd Annual 5km “Sarc Walk” took place on April 27, 2019 at Calgary’s Fish Creek Park. We started walking from the Burnsmead entrance off of Bow Bottom Trail SE starting at approximately 9:30AM. We had the pathway marked out again all the way out to a 2.5km turnaround point and walk back to the start point for a total of 5km. The weather held out for us in the morning thankfully and it turned out to be a relaxing walk with all the dogs that came along as well!
Location: Fish Creek Park, Burnsmead entrance off Bow Bottom Trail SE – MAP
We had a great time and really appreciated everyone that came out to support the walk, those that supported it via pledges and the sponsors.
Thank you Gayle Manz for the great looking bandana’s the dogs were able to wear during the walk.

The 5km walk took place on April 14th, 2018 in South Glenmore Park in Calgary, AB.

The walk was done in recognition of April being Sarcoidosis Awareness Month. The Calgary Tower was lit up in Purple for the entire day and evening in Support of the event. We had approximately 50 people and 10+ dogs for the walk. The weather was good and everything ran smoothly. We were even able to give away some Canadian Sarcoidosis t-Shirts and swag to some of the walkers. We can’t wait to keep expanding this further next year!
