Terwillegar Trail Run and Walk
The event takes place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, in Terwillegar Park with activity centred on the Riverbend Community League Hall at 258 Rhatigan Road NW. Participants are escorted from the hall to the trailhead at the end of Riddell Street.
Distances
- 7.5 km walk on wide gravel and perimeter trails
- 10 km run with single track and technical sections
The walk begins on a wide, smooth gravel path that descends into an open field and follows a well‑maintained perimeter trail for about 4 km. The walk route is suitable for trail style strollers and is dog friendly since Terwillegar Park is an off‑leash area. Aid stations offering cold water are located at 1.5 km and 5.5 km. Volunteers guide and assist participants on course, and the route returns to the hall via the same trail and residential streets where a hot buffet breakfast is provided.
The run starts from the same trailhead and quickly becomes narrow and rugged with roots and rocks. Single track begins near 3.5 km and winds around ponds with short steep climbs. An aid station is at 6.3 km; the course includes an out and back section and a long descent before a steady climb back to the start area. Package pickup is scheduled at the Riverbend Community Hall on Friday, September 25 from 4:30 to 6:00 PM and on Saturday, September 26 from 6:45 to 7:15 AM.
Fundraising for You Can Ride 2 has a $10,000 target, with 100 percent of donations directed to that charity and tax receipts issued for donations of $25 or greater. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
