About the Event

Our annual Run with the Wolves event is a fall tradition that brings together schools across the Peace Region to participate in a fun community event. The event encourages our Wolf Pups - students in kindergarten to grade 12 - to lace up and enjoy the scenic trails of Wapiti Nordic Centre, all in support of NWP Wolves Athletics.

Designed to promote wellness and connection, the event encourages students to walk, run, or jog at their own pace. Every participant receives a finisher medal, snacks, and a take-home item to mark their accomplishment and celebrate their place in the Wolf Pack.
