Solstice 5K

The 2025 Solstice 5K in Edmonton is a vibrant running event held at Northeast River Valley Park, celebrating the long summer days with a race against the sunset. Participants can choose to run or walk the 5K distance either in person or virtually from anywhere in Canada. All in-person runners receive a pair of New Balance Running Shoes and a finisher medal, while virtual participants get their race kit shipped to their home.

The event fosters a festive atmosphere with photo sharing encouraged via #Solstice5K. Sponsored nationally by New Balance and Running Room, and locally by Little Bear Gelato and Cranky's Bike Shop, it promises a memorable summer race experience.
