2026 Calgary First Responders Half Marathon

The Calgary First Responders Half Marathon is a fall race held in Calgary, Alberta, starting at St. Patrick’s Island Park at The Rise. Multisportscanada organizes it as part of the First Responders Half Marathon series. The event includes a 21K half marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1K fun run. Staggered late-morning starts ensure different distances use the same race-day setup. The event acknowledges and supports first responders in the local community. The route follows Calgary’s Bow River pathway system, offering a city course along the river instead of closed suburban loops. The half marathon and 10K feature a four-person team category, with each team receiving an averaged time rather than a relay format. Participants receive chip timing, on-course fluid stations, a finisher medal, and post-race snacks. Series results have been recorded since 2015.
