Bison Dash

BISON DASH 2025 is a community running event in Wainwright, Alberta, organized by the Wainwright Runners. It offers a 5K Run, a 5K Walk, and a 2K Kids Run, with the 5K course looping through town on walking trails, Bevan’s Green Area, and the berm trail along Highway 41 before finishing near the No Frills parking area. The event emphasizes a supportive, family-friendly atmosphere and is touted as a great option for a personal-best 5K.

Special features include a new 5K route format introduced in 2024, on-site timing by Ellis Timing, and handmade awards for top finishers. Early registrants receive race swag (tech shirt), plus an optional 12-week 5K training program from The Intuitive Runner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
