The Chad’s Day for Change Urban Trail Run offers a buffet of trail course treats for our runners.

Race day is August 9, 2025!
Registration is open!

Our course takes runners through Edmonton’s scenic North Saskatchewan River valley on mostly packed dirt trails with some gravel and asphalt paths. Runners will always be within sight of the river except when you’re in a forested ravine. The only road crossing on our 34 km route is a single crossing of the park access road.

The 34 km route is broken into three legs. Each is an out-and-back loop that returns to the start/finish Race HQ.

  • Leg 1 is the Dawson Park Loop

  • Leg 2 is the Strathcona Science Park Loop

  • Leg 3 is the Goldstick Ravine Loop

Our race has six options:

Our 34 km “Full Meal Deal” soloists start on Leg 1 and run all three legs in order.

The 34 km “Meal in 3 Courses” relay teams gets a token that travels the whole distance. The Leg 1 runner carries it out on the Dawson Park Loop, handing the token to the Leg 2 runner for the Strathcona Science Park Loop, and then the Leg 3 runner brings it home by completing the the Goldstick Ravine Loop to the finish line!

Single Leg “Pick Your Poison” soloists can pick from any of the three legs.

For our second year we will also be offering a new Half Marathon (21.1 km) event!

We also have a 5 km Run/Walk Course and a 1.2 km Kids Course.

Full leg descriptions and trail maps can be found below.
