Click here for Kids Runs!We are so excited to announce, after a two-year hiatus, the EPIC Canadian Run for Canada is back in the City-of-Lakes, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Join us here, or from anywhere across the country and beyond using our 'Virtual' event options. Once again, you can celebrate the most Canadian holiday of the year, and the joy of Active Living, with running friends from far and near - including some you may not have met yet!The 2022 EPIC Canadian Run For Canada starts with the EPIC@Night 6.1K, at 7PM on Canada Day Eve, June 30th. The next morning, Canada Day July 1st brings the Maple Leaf 10K at 8AM, followed by The Canadian 5K at 9:30.
2022 marks the return of the Mini-Moose Challenge! Complete all three distances over two days for a total of 21.1K. And of course we continue the same race format EPIC pioneered within Canada in 2014, the EPIC Double-In-A-Day: two distances, back-to-back, and the additional challenge of posting your best total time for the 15K distance as well.
Every participant completing any two (or all three) distances will receive our 2022 "It's Not Easy" challenge medal, the next letter in our C.A.N.A.D.A. medals series, for 2022, the 2nd letter 'A'.
All courses are accurately measured, well marked & signed, with both police and volunteer traffic control, and fully supported for both Runners and Walkers at all levels. There are portable toilets and multiple water stops en route, and refreshments at the finish line.
Note: If you would like to pay by a method other than credit card, please send an email to: info@epiccanadian.ca
2022 EPIC Canadian Individual Race Medals
This year, we introduce the 4th letter of our C.A.N.A.D.A. medals, the second letter 'A'. Every participant that completes two or more distances in this year's event will earn this year's "It's Not EASY" bonus medal (see the EPIC Race Feature Chart for details, and images of all our 2022 medals).
Earning each CANADA medal is a special achievement, and we want to provide every participant a chance to partake, even if they are new to running, or need to spread their two events out over more than a single day.
If you are just starting your CANADA medal collection this year, we have three CANADA Medals Catch Up VIRTUAL RUN registration options that will allow you to earn your C medal, A medal, or N medal prior to this year's event. ('C' Medal Catch Up | 'A' Medal Catch Up | 'N' Medal Catch Up) - check graphic below for all the options)

If you can't join us in person this summer, we'd love to have you join us 'virtually', from anywhere across Canada, or beyond (a question in the registration process asks for your shipping address). We pack and ship the same race kit you would receive on location: shirts, swag, medals, custom bib - all of it. So join us from literally anywhere!
Now, in normal years, we place an early order with the goal of getting all race kits into the hands of our Virtual Participants by July 1st. We'll *attempt* to do so again this year, but realistically, with delays in receiving race materials and also with shipping, these kits may not be physically in your hands by the first - but they will get to you just as soon as we can make it happen!
So, yes, please join us, but please register early to give us the best chance of getting your race kit to you early as well.
