Welcome to the 2023-2024 Calgary Roadrunners cross-country Grand Prix series. The series consists of ten events – nine individual races (8 km, 4 km, and a short run for kids) in various parks of the City of Calgary and Town of Okotoks, and one 3-leg relay race in Confederation Park. River Park Classic is the first of the ten events in the series.

Registration:

Registration for the River Park Classic cross-country event is OPEN. The online pre-registration will be closed at 9 p.m. on Friday Oct 13 – do not procrastinate. It’s more preferrable to pre-register online and not show up than come to the race and not being able to participate.

Online registration is closed. You will need to pay cash or check (does everyone remember these methods of payment?) on Saturday Oct 14th, PRIOR to the event. There will be a volunteer collecting payments and checking you off the pre-registration list.

Entry Fees:

• $12 General entry (per runner)
• $8 Calgary Roadrunner members
• $6 Full-time student
• $0 for Kids’ 1K Race. A parent or guardian must sign a waiver for each child entered in the Kids’ 1K Race.  Parents should print and sign a Kids 1K waiver form (also available at the start).

Race start is adjacent to the Sandy Beach picnic area. From Crowchild Trail, turn east onto 50th Ave. which will take you to the park entrance at 14A St. SW. Head down the hill to the parking lot next to the Elbow River.
