Welcome to the 29th running of the Flatlanders Road Race, hosted by the Regina Road Runners Club. The race features a half-marathon, a 10km and a 5km. Walkers are welcome in the 21.1K, 10k and 5k, and this year.
All races start and finish on the track at the Canada Games Athletic Complex (Douglas Park Track). This year's race will be held on Saturday, October 7.
Race Package Pickup: Race Package Pickup: Package pick-up will occur on Friday, October 6 from noon - 6pm at the Canada Athletic Complex (Douglas Park Track) or on race day, 7:15 - 8:45am.
As things can be pretty hectic on Saturday morning, we would appreciate as many runners as possible picking up their bibs on Friday afternoon. And you may pick up race kits for other runners.
Children’s Race: The Children's race is run before the other distances and is open for children 5 to 8 years old. They use the same start/finish line as the longer races; basically the race starts on the track in front of the timekeeper booth, runs partway around the track and then out the east gate, does a loop around the park – no roads to cross – back in the same gate and continues around the track to the finish line.
Race start times are staggered to reduce congestion at the start, to bring finishing times closer together, and for safety reasons so that faster 5k and 10k runners don't have to run back against all of the other runners. Due to the course design- with turnarounds for the 5k and 10k - some two way traffic is inevitable and we urge all runners to keep to the right and be aware of oncoming runners.
Start Times:
- 1 mile kids race 8:45 am
- Half-marathon run 9:15 am
- Half-marathon walk 8:00 am
- 10k run/walk 9:30 am
- 5k run/walk 9:45 am
Race Course: The race is run almost completely on the pathways in Wascana Park. There are KM markers and arrows marking the course, as well as course marshals to direct runners. Water is available at 5 aid stations on the course, and refreshments after the race.
Inclusivity: The Flatlanders has always been an inclusive event for runners of all abilities. Walkers are welcome. The course officially closes at 1 pm – that’s 3 ½ hours; please choose a distance that you can complete in that time frame. We’ve never left anyone out on the course, but please consider that the race organizers and volunteers put in a pretty long day.
Dogs and Strollers are not permitted. Unfortunately due to the congestion on the pathways and the two-way traffic it’s just not possible.
Earbuds etc. As with nearly all major races around the world – yes the Flatlanders is a major race - we have given up on trying to restrict runners from taking their music with them. But PLEASE listen for race directions from course marshals, respond to cheers from spectators, and be aware of your surroundings.
