5KM Run & Walk

The new course in 2009 will be continued in 2010!  Utilizing some of Canmore's beautiful pathways, the 5 km course was improved for 2009.  Due to the increase in runners and the new route, the course can no longer accommodate burlies, strollers, or wheelchairs (or any other wheeled vehicle).  Come and enjoy a wonderful day in the Rockies! Appropriate for all running levels. The course is fast, fun and set in the middle of beautiful Canmore.  Updated maps coming soon, minor course changes may occur.
