“It is a pleasure to feel the energy and camaraderie within the Canada Army Run year after year. We invite everyone to experience that for themselves in 2024. Come out and participate, meet our soldiers, and support our charitable causes to support the people behind the uniform: Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans, and their families.” – LGen Jocelyn (Joe) Paul, Commander Canadian Army
