CRR Edworthy Park X/C Race
The Edworthy Park Cross-Country Meet is an annual late-season trail race and is Race 4 in the Calgary Roadrunners Grand Prix Series, scheduled for November 28, 2026. The Calgary Roadrunners first held a race at Edworthy in 1986 on the Douglas Fir trail. The event has been directed by experienced marathon finishers since 2021.
The course runs through South Edworthy Park, beginning near the south entrance by the Thomas Percival parking lot. Trails offer scenic views and variable footing; icy or muddy conditions are likely at this time of year. Trail shoes, spikes, or cleats are recommended. Parking is available in designated lots and along the curb; the club is not responsible for ticketed vehicles. Route maps for approximate 4 km and 8 km layouts are provided but may be subject to change.
Race distances and categories:
- 0.5–1 km for children 12 and under
- 4 km for children 12 and under, Masters 70+, and male and female open
- 8 km with age groups in 10 year brackets, male and female
Entry fees are: general $12, CRR members $8, full-time students $6, children 12 and under free. A parent or guardian must sign a waiver for participants under 18. Pre-registration is via a Google form two weeks before the race.
A post-race social at the Bow Cliff Seniors Centre will provide hot soup, rolls, and beverages; participants are asked to bring their own mug, bowl, and spoon and to bring desserts to share. Volunteers are sought for setup, timing, course marshaling, and kitchen support. In case of extreme cold or hazardous conditions, updates will be posted on the Calgary Roadrunners website.
