OVERVIEW
The idea for the Love is Love Mile goes back a few years and while it was never meant to be a virtual event, Run Calgary and Calgary Pride didn’t want to wait to bring more love to this wonderful city so we launched it in 2020 to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of Calgary Pride. We are still working out the details for the 2021 edition and can’t wait to bring it to you in-person soon!
In-Person date: TBD
Virtual Race Window coincides with Calgary Pride Week: August 27 to September 5

An exploration of regret, disaster, and accountability from the perspective of a self-sacrificing Jewish mother who initiates a marriage explosion. It begins in a drunken comedic style and proceeds to do a deep dive into the unshakable monster that is Guilt.
Diane has been hailed for her ability to mix humour and pathos in an intoxicating brew, and serve it like the spicy mama she is.
Dark, funny and poignant, Diane Flacks will captivate audiences in this must-see hit.
