Run the River Fall Challenge : Event details

Run the River Fall Challenge offers three distance options that start and finish at Louise McKinney Riverfront Park (lower level) in Edmonton. All routes follow river valley pathways and travel east from Louise McKinney Riverfront Park into Dawson Park. The lap turn is 700 m from the finish; participants do not return to the finish until they have completed the required number of laps.

  • 5 km : direct out and back.
  • 10 km : two laps between two turn points.
  • Half marathon : three laps between two turn points.

A post race BBQ is provided by River Valley Adventure Company and is included in the entry fee. Beer and other beverages are available for purchase on site. A Legendary Juniors event takes place on the grassy area near the start and finish line for children ages 5 to 12 inclusive; a separate junior registration fee is listed at CA$7.48.

Race package pick up is scheduled at Fast Trax Run and Ski Shop, 7326 101 Avenue, on the day before the race; registrants are asked to sign up for a package pick up window starting one week before the event. This pick up schedule may change based on registration numbers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
