Parking & Shuttle Bus Information

There is limited parking at Edworthy Park.

North Side of Edworthy Park:
Free Parking & shuttles are available at Market Mall. IMPORTANT: Designated parking area and shuttles run from the NE corner of the mall - at the corner of 40 Ave NW and Shaganappi Trail NW.
Mall Address: 3625 Shaganappi Trail NW, Calgary, AB T3A 0E2

The shuttle ride will take approximately 5 minutes. Shuttles will pick up runners at the entrance to the parking lot outside.

Shuttle pick-up times: 7:30 a.m. – 9 a.m. and will run until 11:30 a.m. Shuttle pick-up is located at the entrance of the parking lot.

We highly recommend arrival between 7:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. to avoid longer wait times at the shuttle pick up.

Tip: Come in groups! When carpooling, drop off runners at Edworthy Park (near Angel’s Cafe) and have the driver park at the offsite parking.

South Side of Edworthy Park:

We strongly discourage parking at Edworthy Park South Parking lot as it is very limited and there is no alternative parking on the south side of the river. Parking is not permitted on Edworthy road (leading to the south entrance of the park). Please do not park here.
