Run the River Spring Challenge

Run The River Spring challenge offers a 5km, 10km and half marathonWEATHER POSTPONEMENT TO MAY 3The weather in Edmonton is terrible leading into our planned date of April 26. The conditions are currently treacherous and unsafe on the pathways. With the forecast predicting more snow, high winds and very cold temperatures, conditions will not improve by Sunday morning. We know Alberta runners are tough and not afraid of cold temperatures but the icy conditions are not conducive to safety. We want to keep everybody safe – athletes and volunteers alike. Given that, and after talking with all of our stakeholders to accommodate a change, we are postponing Run the River until Sunday, May 3. When the forecast is for sunny skies and a high of 17! Registration remains open until May 2 at noon. Join us for the spring version of Run the River and choose from 5km, 10km or a half marathon.The race starts and finishes at Louise McKinney Riverfront park with all routes following the river valley pathways. We have partnered with River Valley Adventure Company who will be providing you with a post race BBQ (included in your entry fee). Beer and other beverages are available for purchase. The legendary kids events will happen in the grassy area right near the start/finish line.
