The Calgary Police Classic is a premier fall running event in Calgary that features three race distances: a fast and flat half-marathon (21.1 km), a quick 8 km route, and a fun, family-friendly kids' race. Formerly known as the Calgary Police Half Marathon, the event has been reimagined with a new name, logo, and revitalized courses to celebrate over 45 years of running tradition. Hosted at Cowboys Park (formerly Shaw Millennium Park), it attracts runners of all levels who want to enjoy Calgary’s scenic routes while challenging themselves. The event also offers a virtual race option, allowing participants to complete their chosen distance on their own schedule between September 21 and October 19, 2025. Proceeds support the Calgary Police Youth Foundation, helping fund critical programs for local youth and fostering strong community ties.
