Oh MY Oakridge: Upgrading Our Community Greenspaces

🦷 Sponsor Spotlight: West Peaks Dental Suite

We recently stopped by West Peaks Dental Suite, one of our original Gold Sponsors, for a look around their clinic.

Jocelynn took us on a tour through the office, and we loved how bright, modern, and welcoming the space feels. More importantly, everyone we met was incredibly friendly and approachable—the kind of people who make a dental visit feel a little less daunting.

We're grateful to have West Peaks Dental Suite supporting the Oakridge Run from the early years and helping us continue to grow this community event.

Thank you to the entire West Peaks team for your support and for making patients feel right at home.

Platinum Sponsor Spotlight: Bobby Clark

We recently met up with Bobby Clark at a local park to chat about his real estate business, his commitment to the community, and his long-standing support of the Oakridge Run.

The weather definitely kept things interesting—rain on, rain off, rain on again. But that's June in Calgary! 😄

What stood out most was hearing about the many ways Bobby gives back, from supporting local initiatives to coaching kids' sports. His passion for community is evident in everything he does.

Bobby has been with the Oakridge Run from the beginning as one of our original supporters, and we're incredibly grateful for his continued partnership year after year.

Thank you, Bobby, for helping make Oakridge Run possible and for all you do to strengthen our community.

See you on June 20!

This week, we also had the pleasure of visiting Jessica from Budget Blinds of West Calgary & Cochrane, the proud sponsor of our Free Kids 1K at this year's Oakridge Run.

Jessica welcomed us into her home and gave us a tour of some of the beautiful window coverings she helps bring to homes across Calgary and Cochrane. From stylish shades to elegant blinds, every room felt thoughtfully designed and inviting.

To be honest, by the end of the visit, we were all ready to book an appointment ourselves! 😊

We're incredibly grateful to Jessica and Budget Blinds for supporting the Oakridge Run and helping us keep the Kids 1K free for families in our community.

Thank you for your generosity, your enthusiasm, and for being part of what makes this event so special.

See you on June 20!

This week, we stopped by Strides Running Store in Marda Loop to chat with Jeremy and learn more about the people behind one of our Platinum Sponsors.

What stood out most wasn't just their passion for running—it's their commitment to building community. From helping runners find the right gear to supporting local events like the Oakridge Run, Strides has been helping people take their next step, whatever their goal may be.

We're grateful for their support of the Oakridge Run and for taking the time to share their story with us.

If you're training for the Oakridge Run, thinking about getting started, or simply looking for expert advice, be sure to check them out.

Thank you, Jeremy and the entire Strides team, for helping make the Oakridge Run possible!

This week, Jocelynn, our Community Partnerships Director, stopped by Peak Health Oakbay to connect with their team and learn more about the work they do right here in Oakridge.

Peak Health has been a Platinum Sponsor of the Oakridge Run for the past three years, and we're grateful for their continued support of our community and this event.

We also got to hear more about their Thursday 6:30pm Run Club. Whether you're training for the Oakridge Run, looking to stay active, or simply hoping to meet other runners in the community, it's a great way to get moving and connect with others.

Thank you to the entire Peak Health team for welcoming us and for helping make Oakridge Run possible year after year!
