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.

The Explore Kananaskis course uses paved infrastructure around Kananaskis Village, with sources noting Terrace Trail, Centennial Drive, Evan Thomas and Bill Milne Paths, and Village Rim as part of the race setting. Both distances start and finish at Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge.

​

Runners should expect smooth paved surfaces, gently rolling mountain terrain, and wide alpine views. The race is positioned as a low-impact event that uses existing pathways while keeping the experience scenic and approachable.
