Mizuno Midsummer 5k 2026
The 16th annual Mizuno Midsummer 5k is a hybrid event featuring both in-person and virtual participation options. The physical race takes place at Gold Bar Park in Edmonton, Alberta. For the on-site event, the course is marked with chalk and directional signage to assist with navigation. The virtual alternative allows participants to run from any location between Thursday, July 9th and Sunday, July 12th, 2026.
Participants can select from the following distances:
- 5 km run or walk
- 1 km kids fun run or walk
Registration for the 5 km event includes a swag package featuring a pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 29 running shoes and a pair of GoodR sunglasses. For participants located outside of Edmonton, race kits are sent to the nearest Running Room store. Children participating in the 1 km in-person event receive a finishers medal.
Results are managed through an online submission process. Participants must provide a GPS tracking link to be eligible for age group prizes, which are awarded to the top three finishers in categories ranging from U20 to 60+. Cash prizes are also available for the three fastest open and female runners in the in-person race. Proceeds from the event go toward supporting the Concordia Thunder cross-country and indoor track teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
