Run the River Spring Challenge
The event takes place at Louise McKinney Riverfront Park in Edmonton and offers three race distances.
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half marathon (21.1 km)
The start and finish are at the waterfront park and all routes follow the river valley pathways. The 5 km is a direct out-and-back. 10 km runners complete two laps between two turn points, and half marathon runners complete three laps between the same turn points before finishing.
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 after the race.
A juniors program takes place on the grassy area near the start/finish. The Mini Legends Stadium includes stations for running, jumping and throwing; an adult guardian must remain on site with participating children. The juniors program has a separate registration fee noted on the event entry page.
Race package pick up is scheduled for the day before the event at Fast Trax (7326 101 Ave NW). Participants are asked to choose a package pick up window to reduce congestion. Interactive route maps are provided for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
