Sweater Weather 10K & 5K
The second edition of the Sweater Weather 10K & 5K is a trail running event scheduled for Saturday, October 3, 2026. The race is held at the Canmore Nordic Centre Stadium, located behind the Main Lodge in Canmore, Alberta. The course utilizes double-track dirt trails that wind through local pine forests.
Participants can select from two available distances:
- 10 km
- 5 km
Both routes feature elevation gains consistent with the mountain terrain. Aid stations providing water, snacks, and electrolyte drinks are positioned at the 3.5 km mark for the 5 km distance, and at the 3.5 km and 7.5 km marks for the 10 km distance. A course time limit of 2.5 hours is in effect for all participants.
Safety regulations at the Canmore Nordic Centre require all runners aged 18 and older to carry bear spray during the race. While wearing a sweater is encouraged for the best sweater contest, it is not a mandatory requirement. Post-race refreshments include homemade pie and warm drinks at the finish line. Please note that strollers and dogs are prohibited on the race course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
