About the Event

Experience the vibrant energy of Edmonton as you join runners and walkers for the 10th Annual Cheryl's Run on Saturday, September 26. This year’s event takes place amidst the picturesque Edmonton River Valley, offering participants stunning views along the way.
The course offers two distances to choose from: a leisurely 5K or an invigorating 10K challenge. Families are encouraged to participate with kids running their own 5K route early in the morning around the 2k mark. The scenic trail through the river valley ensures a memorable and enjoyable experience for all.
Post-race, treat yourself to delicious treats at the finish line courtesy of Cookies by George—enjoy freshly baked goodies as you celebrate your accomplishment. For those looking forward to more sustenance, relish in an inviting Purple Perogy lunch provided exclusively for participants.
The highlight of this year’s event is reserved for top fundraisers: the chance to win a luxurious trip for two to Yellowknife to witness the breathtaking Northern Lights! This prize package includes flights courtesy of Canadian North Airlines, accommodation at The Explorer Hotel, and adventure activities with North Star Adventures. Additional runner-up prizes from generous sponsors await, details available on our website.
