New Date – January 20th 2024. Weather looks much better, and Calgary Parks has approved our permit more, so the race is a GO, including kids’ fun run. See you on Saturday. Oleg the RD
Welcome to the 2024 CRR Nose Creek cross-country event, race six of the 2023-2024 Grand Prix series of ten events. The race features a short fun run for little kids at 11:45 am, followed by a mass start for 4 km and 8 km runners at noon.
Directions – The parking lot is accessible from Deerfoot Trail (turn to 96 Ave NE West) or Harvest Hills Blvd (turn to 96 Ave NE East).
Park in the parking lot South of 96 Ave NE / Harvest Hills Link NE. The CRR Club is not responsible for ticketed vehicles.
Course Description – Kids run course is about ~0.5 km long on a single / double track trail. The Cross-Country route follows trails above and in the valley of West Nose Creek / Confluence Park. Depending on the weather leading to the race, snow, ice, frozen ground, or mud may be encountered. Shoes with a good tread, cleats or spikes are recommended.
Oleg and Elena are your Race Directors for the event. Please contact them to offer help – people volunteering at the event take a lot of load off RDs’ shoulders.
Post-Race Meal & Social – unfortunately, no soups for you at this event, due to our regular community hall being closed for expansion, and no other amenity available in reasonable vicinity on that day. We’ll still offer hot and soft drinks, as well as light snacks at the finish line.
Race Fees – since we do not have a community hall to host our runners/volunteers, the RDs are reducing the event fees to $5 for CRR members and full-time students and $10 for general public. Children 12 years old and younger can run for free. This is a one-time fee reduction only. Bring cash to start line.
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 WEBFORMwill be closed on Friday January 19th at 9 pm.
In case of extremely cold weather, check the CRR home page for information updates. www.calgaryroadrunners.com
