Kananaskis Half Marathon & 10K

The Explore Kananaskis Half Marathon & 10K is a boutique mountain road-running event held in Kananaskis Village, Alberta, Canada, at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge. The event is organized by rnest endurance and positioned as a low-impact, limited-field race weekend in the Canadian Rockies.

The event takes place across two days: the Half Marathon on Saturday and the 10K on Sunday. Both races start and finish at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge and use existing paved infrastructure around Kananaskis Village, including mountain pathways and routes such as Terrace Trail, Centennial Drive, Evan Thomas, Bill Milne Paths, and Village Rim.

The race is designed as a scenic Rockies experience rather than a high-volume city race. Fields are limited to about 500 participants per day, and the event follows a “Zero Trace” approach asking runners to carry their own hydration vessel to reduce waste and protect the surrounding mountain environment.
