Big Monster March

Big Monster March

Get ready to Move, March, and Make a Difference – the Monster March Marathon is back! We are once again partnering with the Calgary Marathon to organize our 7th annual Monster March Campaign, with Wee Wild Ones being the official sponsor for the Kids Races and Diaper Dash!

The Monster March was started by Wee Wild Ones in 2017 as a way to bring families together, explore our city, and support local organizations that uplift children and families in need. Over the years, this initiative has grown into a movement, encouraging families to get outside, stay active, and have fun—all while making a meaningful impact.

From 2017 to 2023, Monster March raised over $230,000 for the Children’s Cottage Society, supporting Calgary’s most vulnerable families through respite programs, crisis nurseries, and essential support services. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to their mission.

2025 Impact Report

On behalf of the entire Wee Wild Ones and WilderFutures Team, we are delighted to share that our Monster March Scavenger Hunt raised $10,000 in support of the Calgary Public Library Foundation.

This year’s event brought together families, educators and community members in a creative and playful way, all while contributing to a cause that aligns so closely with our shared values of learning, literacy, and community connection.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this years Monster March - whether it be through raising funds, walking, Scavenger Hunt, or spreading the word about the events!

Partnership with the Calgary Public Library Foundation

We’re thrilled to kick off a new chapter—this year, Monster March is proud to support The Calgary Public Library Foundation.

We’re thrilled to kick off a new chapter—this year, Monster March is proud to support The Calgary Public Library Foundation. The Library is more than books; it’s a vital community hub offering kids and families access to literacy, learning, and connection. Our fundraising will help spark curiosity, a love of reading, and lifelong learning for Calgary’s youngest citizens.

But Monster March isn’t just about giving back—it’s about getting active! May is “Monster Month,” where families can track movement, stay active, and prepare for race day. Whether it’s walking, running, skipping, or dancing, every step counts.

Kids can aim to complete 41KM in May using our Kids Kilometre Tracker, then finish the final 1.2KM in the Kids’ Race—or celebrate their achievement in the 5KM Monster March Walk/Run.

Join us as we move, explore, and make memories—one step at a time, in support of stories that inspire every child in Calgary.
