Gingerbread Run 2026

Get ready to chase the Gingerbread Man during Saskatoon’s iconic fun run.

The annual Gingerbread Run will happen on Sunday, November 22nd with the start/finish line at the YWCA Saskatoon parking lot.

Registration opens this Thursday (October 8) at 8 a.m.

Created by Brainsport, the Gingerbread Run is a 5K fun run for the entire family. With the course on the paved Meewasin Trail, we welcome people of all ages – with strollers, wagons and carriages (attached to runners) allowed.

Following tradition, there will be three Gingerbread Men (in full costume) running on the course!

For just $59.99 (plus tax and Race Roster fees) all runners/walkers receive:

• Coveted Gingerbread Run bunnyhug
• Race bib
• Custom medal at the finish line
• Gingerbread cookies after the run

All net proceeds are donated to the YWCA Saskatoon, which helps women and children in need. We encourage donations during the registration process, with all donations receiving a 100% charitable tax receipt.
