Run the River Spring Challenge
Run the River Spring Challenge takes place on April 25, 2027 at Louise McKinney Riverfront Park in the Grierson Hill Northwest area of Edmonton, Alberta. The event offers multiple distance options that follow the river valley pathways, with start and finish on the lower level of the park.
Distances:
- 5 km out and back on the river pathway
- 10 km two laps between the event turn points
- 21.1 km half marathon three laps between the turn points then to the finish
All routes run west along the river pathway and cross Walterdale Bridge to the turn points. The course layout may change if pathway construction near the Rossdale water treatment plant is not completed as planned.
A post race BBQ is provided as part of the entry fee by a partner organization; beer and other beverages are available for purchase. There is a dedicated juniors program held on the grassy area near the start and finish with activity stations in the infield; an adult guardian must remain on site with participating children and space is limited.
Race packages are available for pick up the day before the event at Fast Trax, with assigned pickup windows communicated to registrants. Registration fees vary by registration period. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
