Edmonton Police Service Half Marathon
The Lowdown
The Edmonton Police Service Half Marathon is an annual community road race held at Kinsmen Park in Edmonton, Alberta, organized by the Edmonton Police Foundation to bring police and residents together in a shared athletic event. Alongside the half marathon, the event offers 10K and 5K options, drawing several hundred runners to a course that follows Edmonton's river valley trail system on a mix of paved roads and trails, with color-coded kilometer markers for each distance. Proceeds support the Edmonton Police Foundation's community programs, including canine unit training and youth and safety initiatives. All finishers across the three distances receive a medal, and race weekend includes a festival atmosphere at Kinsmen Park, with kit pickup at the Running Room on 109th Street. The 2026 edition sold out ahead of race day, reflecting steady local demand for the event.
