Welcome to the 2023 CRR Silver Springs cross-country event, race 5 of the 2023-2024 Grand Prix series. The event features a short fun run for little kids, followed by a mass start for 4 km and 8 km runners.

Directions – From Crowchild Trail heading northwest:  exit on the right at Silver Springs Gate/Sarcee Trail and turn left at the overpass.  Follow Silver Springs Gate as it curves to the right and becomes Silver Ridge Drive.   Proceed through stoplights and the hall is on your right.  Race start is about 2 blocks from the Silver Springs Community hall.

Park in designated lots, along the residential streets, or at the Silver Springs Community hall.  The CRR Club is not responsible for ticketed vehicles.

Course Description – Kids run course is about ~1 km long on a [hopefully] cleared pathway.  The cross-country route traverses hillsides, gullies and thickets. Snow, icy patches or mud may be encountered, depending on the weather prior to race day.  Shoes with a good tread or spikes are recommended. The 4K Run follows the same trail as the first portion of the 8K race

Annamaria and Kevin are our Race Directors for the event. Please contact them to offer help – people volunteering at the event, or bringing soups takes a lot of load off RDs’ shoulders.

Post-Race Meal & Social will be held at the Silver Springs Community Association, 5720 Silver Ridge Dr NW, Calgary (walking distance North of race start)

Hot soup, rolls and beverages will be served. Please bring a dessert to share with race participants and bring your own mug, bowl and spoon to reduce waste. 

This is a pre-X-Mas / pre-New Year event – many people have been wearing x-mas sweaters and/or Santa hats at this race. Some even don full on St. Nick / Ded Moroz outfits – sans reindeer. Dress to impress!

Event online pre-registration is now OPEN on this WEBFORM – don’t forget to bring in cash to the race and pay your entry fees on-site. The WEBFORM will be closed on Friday December 15th at 9 pm.

In case of extremely cold weather, check the CRR home page for information updates. www.calgaryroadrunners.com
