The Brita Night Run Edmonton lights up Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park on September 19, 2026. Presented by Brita and the Running Room as part of the Night Run series, the event brings a late‑evening 5K/10K running party to Edmonton with the trademark glow‑in‑the‑dark atmosphere. Runners should note the event enforces legal drinking‑age registration for participants in this market.

Racers choose between a 5K and a 10K, with the 10K starting at 8:00 p.m. and the 5K Run/Walk following at 8:10 p.m. Entrants are seeded into four corrals by estimated finish time to keep starts flowing, and every participant receives a kit that includes an Energizer LED headlight that must be worn on the head for the duration of the run. Race kit pickup is handled through local Running Room stores in the days before the event, with on‑site pickup available per posted times.

What sets the Brita Night Run apart is the full night‑run experience: race kits include an official Brita Night Run tee, a finisher medal, a beer ticket for LDA participants, post‑run snacks and other reflective gear to help light the route. The event also supports Special Olympics, and merchandise purchases during registration (such as Brita bottles) contribute to fundraising for local programs. Expect a festival vibe at the finish with a post‑race celebration where runners can mingle and enjoy their included beverage.

Registration opens during the series sign‑up window (September 11–25, 2026) and Edmonton fields are limited — the city cap is 1,600 total participants. There is no event‑day registration, so advance entry and collecting your kit at the Running Room are recommended.
