Parks2Pints Road Race : October 3, 2026, Canmore
Hosted by Strides Canmore, Salomon, and CAMBA, the Parks2Pints Road Race returns for its 3rd year. The event offers two road race distances and celebrates the local community and the 2026 running season. All proceeds are directed to a local trail organization.
Distances offered
- 5 km
- 10 km
Registration is handled through a partner and includes early bird pricing until prices increase on May 1. Entry fees cover race entry, professional timing, a professionally marked course, and a finisher beer or non alcoholic beverage. Participants are asked to bring a reusable cup for aid stations and their own race nutrition as the event aims for zero waste.
The courses include uphill and downhill sections. The 10 km course has been redesigned for 2026 as a double loop to reduce vertical gain and pinch points; the end of the first loop features a spectator zone and there are multiple spectator access points along the course. All courses will close with a sweep; runners not on pace to finish before course close will be directed toward the finish and accompany the sweepers.
Post race activities include a beer garden, live music from The Ducks, and local food trucks including a curry dinner from Authentic Indian. Volunteer roles cover setup, teardown, on course support, medical, and traffic control; volunteers receive entry to the 2027 race and a drink ticket. A volunteer meeting will be held on September 28 via Zoom with a recording available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
