Explore Kananaskis Half Marathon & 10K 2026
Explore Kananaskis Half Marathon & 10K 2026 is a new two-day mountain road running event based at Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge in Kananaskis Village, Alberta. The weekend features a Half Marathon on Saturday and a 10K on Sunday, giving runners the option to race one day or make it a full Rockies running weekend.
The event is designed as a boutique running experience in Kananaskis Country, pairing paved mountain pathways with alpine scenery, rolling terrain, and a limited-field atmosphere. It is a strong fit for runners looking for a scenic road race outside the city without stepping fully into technical trail racing.
