Run The River Fall challenge offers a 5km, 10km and half marathon
Join us for the fall version of our Run the River challenge. Challenge yourself to run further or faster than you did in the spring.
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.

Route maps
All distances start and finish at Louise McKinney Riverfront park (lower level). The route has changed slightly as of September 18 due to EPCOR work closing the pathway west of Walterdale Bridge. Runners in all distances will now head south over Walterdale Bridge to the turn around points. Please see the updated map below and visit the interactive map links for more detail.
