Stampede Road Race nears sell out in 7th year

StampedeRRStartThe 7th annual Stampede Road Race is now just under three weeks away and early indications suggest it will again sell out. There are still a limited number of spaces (from the 2,000) available so register today.

The event has become a fun and fitness-promoting addition to the historic Calgary Stampede, the so-called “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,” which this year runs from July 3rd to 12th. Race day is Sunday, July 5th.

StampedeRRKidsThe event features three races including a 5K, 10K and half marathon as well as kids races for those aged 1-12. The races start in Glenmore Athletic Park near the tennis bubble and take place within the community of Lake View with the half marathon course completing a full loop around Glenmore Reservoir. All races end with a memorable finish on the track.

After the races, all participants get to enjoy a generous Stampede breakfast and there is also a fun photo booth, finish line fiddlers, line dancers and other fun entertainment. There are technical tees for the adults and cotton for the kids, who also receive a medal, goodie bag and breakfast.

StampedeRRFinishAll half finishers receive a signature stampede bolo tie and for all races, there are age-group awards for the top three in each category as well as cash awards for the top 5 in the 10K and half marathon.
