Moonlight Run
The Moonlight Run is the 40th annual road race organized by Prairie Runners in Lethbridge, described as Southern Alberta’s largest road race. The event starts and finishes at CASA and follows a route into the river valley before returning to CASA.
Event distances:
- 6 km walk/run
- 10 km run
Both routes head south along Indian Battle Road at the bottom of the 3rd Avenue hill. The 6 km course is an out-and-back along Indian Battle Road. The 10 km course includes that out-and-back plus an additional out-and-back section past the Helen Schuler Nature Centre before returning up the hill to CASA.
The 10 km is limited to runners; the 6 km is open to runners and walkers. Strollers are allowed but are encouraged to start toward the back of the group. Dogs are not permitted in either event. The event is making an effort to go green and encourages participants to bring reusable bottles or cups.
Registration fees listed include processing: Adult (16 and over) $26.50, Youth (15 and under) $16.00. Optional apparel and finisher medal fees and deadlines are noted for the year before the event. Entry is capped at 2500 participants and the race has filled in past years.
Prizes include overall awards for top male and female finishers in both distances and medals for the top five in each age category. Awards are distributed in the CASA Community Room after the event. Proceeds support the Cardiac Centre of Excellence for Southern Alberta. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
