The Calgary Community Spinathon benefiting MitoCanada is on February 8th, 2025. As you see there is a name change as @rnrpremierevents is taking over organizing it again. MitoCanada realized it was not the initiative they wanted to take on any longer after the event was gifted to them a few years ago.
EVENT HISTORY:
This event was started by Rose in 2008 when she emptied the entire contents (clothing racks and all), covered it with sheets and hoped for no rain or snow, and got local coaches to lead sessions to keep everyone motivated and having fun! It originally started by raising money for local triathletes, but she felt so passionately about MitoCanada that she changed the focus to donate all of the proceeds to MitoCanada being touched by Evan Penny and the Penny family’s journey with Mitochondrial Disease.
CHANGES FOR 2025:
We have changed the format slightly and are working to create the community feel it once had. The event will be held at the Highland Community Hall and be limited to 100 riders.
The session will be 4 hours long with 6 x 40 minute CONTINUOUS sessions by instructors/coaches. We will also have an on-bike pizza party from @portlandstreetpizza and non-alcoholic beer from @tuesdaybrewingco (along with the usual offerings of electrolytes and energy bars and gels). After the 4 hours of cycling, we will have cycling specific post-ride yoga sessions led by Rose, along with social time!
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- 4 hours of cycling with dynamic coaches/instructors to lead you
(6 x 40 minute blocks)
- event t-shirt if you register before January 24th
- bag check
- hydration
- snacks
- pizza party (pizza and non-alcoholic beer)
- 30 minute recovery yoga class after cycling

- proceeds from your ride going to MitoCanada
I really hope you will sign up!
Especially by this Friday to ensure you get your shirt!
