Ladiesfest 8K - Lethbridge, AB
Ladiesfest 8K is a women-only run/walk established in 2000 to bring together women of all ages for fitness, wellness, and community. The event features an 8 km course that heads down into the river valley and returns to the Sandman Signature Lethbridge Lodge, the site of the start and finish.
All proceeds from the 2026 event will be donated to Womanspace, a resource centre serving women in Lethbridge and the surrounding area. Registration includes entry to the 8K and a buffet breakfast in the hotel ballroom, which will coincide with the awards ceremony. Extra buffet tickets are available for purchase.
Registration details and limits: fee is $42.00 for ages 16 and over, $36.50 for ages 15 and under (online fees included). Optional polyester ladies shirts are available for an additional fee with an order deadline of May 24 at 11:59 pm. Participant limit is 500. Refunds are not available because this is a fundraising event.
Course and timing notes: there is a 1 hour 45 minute cutoff. Strollers should note a number of steps on the final stretch of a shale pathway coming off Whoop Up behind the Galt Museum. All participants receive a medal. Results will be provided by Sprintline Timing.
