Distance:

Grand Prix qualifying races are about 8 km in length. A 4 km fun run is offered at each event. Only in the 70-79 and 80+ age categories do individual 4K results count toward the Grand Prix.
The Confederation Relay is a 3-person relay, each runner completing a ~3 km course. For the cross country novice, we recommend the early season River Park, Confederation Park and Okotoks courses.

* Kids’ distance is 300 to 1,000 meters long, at the RD’s discretion.

Social restrictions:

We plan to lift most COVID related restrictions for the 2022-2023 season; we are back to mass start, kids race, and post-run soups. People are welcome to wear masks as they feel comfortable.

We suggest against coming to the races if you believe you may be sick (COVID, flu, cold – does not matter). Rest, hot tea, and a good book are much better a pastime in this case.
