About the race
RunWild takes place on May 1 and 2, 2027 and is organized by Leading Edge Physiotherapy. The event marks its 16th year and includes races and activities in St. Albert, with WildOnes MaraFuns also scheduled in Sherwood Park and Spruce Grove on May 1; those groups may instead join the St. Albert events on May 2.
Distances offered include:
- 1.2 km WildOnes Kids MaraFun (untimed, ages 4 to 12)
- 5 km community run (strollers allowed)
- 10 km road and trail course
- Half Marathon route alongside the Sturgeon River and local trails
The Half Marathon starts in front of St. Albert Place and follows Sturgeon Road to join the St. Albert trail system, passing Kingswood Park and running beside the river near Sturgeon Valley Golf Course. The 10 km course begins at St. Albert Place, follows Mission Avenue and McKenney Avenue, then moves onto trails past Giroux Road toward Deer Ridge Drive. The Kids MaraFun is a short untimed event aimed at healthy habits and philanthropy.
A Race Village accompanies the race day with a kids fun zone, live entertainment, food and beverages. The event supports community causes including the Zebra Child Protection Centre, the St. Albert Seniors Association and Child Advocacy Centres across Alberta. Volunteers and donations are part of the event structure. RunWild was founded and is supported by partners, employees, families, friends and volunteers of Leading Edge Physiotherapy.
