Welcome to the 2024 CRR Weaselhead cross-country event, race nine of the 2023-2024 Grand Prix series. The event 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.

Location – Park at the Variety Spray Park car lot, South Glenmore Park. The race start is a  adjacent to the parking lot, and is 10 minute walk from Palliser Bayview Pumphill Community Association 2323 Palliser Dr SW, Calgary where you can also park your car.

Directions – South Glenmore Park, Variety Spray parking lot

Park in designated lots, either at Start / Finish or at the Palliser Community Association.  The CRR Club is not responsible for ticketed vehicles.

Course Description – Kids run course is about ~0.5 km long on a pathway / dirt track.  The 4 km and 8 km races will run along South shore of Glenmore Reservoir into Weaselhead Flats, and return on Jackrabbit trail. The usual X-C hazards will be encountered, including snow, mud, and icy patches. Spikes or cleats are recommended for the 8K and 4K run. 

Alan Lam is our Race Director for the event. Please contact him 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 Palliser Bayview Pumphill Community Association 2323 Palliser Dr SW, Calgary  (walking distance South 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. 

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 (START/FINISH area). The WEBFORM  will be closed on Friday February 23rd at 9 p.m.
