About the race
Terwillegar Park in Southwest Edmonton hosts the first race of the Northern Alberta 5 Peaks Trail Running Series. The event uses trails within more than 186 hectares of parkland and runs along the river valley.
The course features hilly terrain and single-track sections with mud, steep descents, riverside climbs, roots, rocks, and sharp up and down hills. Races are offered in multiple distances:
- Kids : 1 km
- Kids : 3 km
- Sport run or hike : 8.1 km
- Enduro run or hike : 16.2 km
The event is cup free. Water and electrolyte drink are provided at the start and finish area and at one or more aid stations on course. Participants expected to be out longer than an hour should carry a receptacle for fluids and nutrition. Wooden finisher medals made in Canada are available and all swag, awards, and merch must be picked up at the race.
Facilities and logistics noted for the event include washrooms at the start and finish area, limited parking, and spectator viewing best from the start and finish area. For safety, the course does not permit dogs, headphones, strollers or baby joggers, and nordic walking poles are restricted to the hiking group only. Awards recognize top three finishers by gender and age category in each distance and the top three overall male and female finishers.
