COALDALE, AB – A town in southern Alberta is gearing up for an exciting run this weekend.

The annual Coaldale Family 5K Fun Run is set for Saturday, April 20, 2024.

The event is organized by Coaldale Christian School and not only serves as a way to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise, but also helps a local cause.

Officials say for every entry, $2 will be donated to the Rehoboth Christian Ministries, which is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities and their families.

“It’s incredible to see the community come together in such a meaningful way,” says Jacob Wiebe, lead organizer of the event.
