On 16 August 2026, runners and walkers of all levels will gather in Edmonton for the Servus Credit Union Edmonton Marathon, an event promising a distance for everyone — including the signature marathon, half-marathon, a 10 km run, a 5 km, and a 1 km kids fun run. The route is designed for speed: largely flat through historic neighbourhoods, downtown streets and Edmonton’s scenic river valley. Known as “The Friendly Marathon”, the event combines strong community support — thousands of spectators and hundreds of volunteers — with one of Canada’s faster marathon options, making it ideal for personal bests or memorable finishes. Whether you’re chasing a qualifying time or simply enjoying a run in a vibrant city setting, this Edmonton event offers both performance and welcome.
