The Canadian Days 5K Run/Walk has been a family-friendly part of our community festival for over 40 years. Runners and walkers of all ages and skill levels are welcome at this event.
The USATF Certified course starts and ends at Pioneer Park on Desoto Street. Participants receive a T-shirt and a pancake breakfast at Spooner Park (350 Eli Rd) following the race. Ribbons are awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in each age bracket.
Dogs are not allowed on the course.
Early race packets (t-shirt and bib) pickup at Spooner Park, 350 Eli Rd, Friday, August 1, 11 am - 2 pm. Early packet pickup helps you avoid the long lines on race day and will also increase the chances of getting your requested shirt size. Packet pickup is also available Saturday morning before race.
