2026 Calgary Police Classic

Autumn's Splendor: The Calgary Fall Classic
This year marks the 46th edition of the Calgary Fall Classic, an annual running tradition that captures the essence of fall. Taking place on September 19, 2026, this race offers a unique blend of competitive and community spirit as participants gather to celebrate in-person or through a virtual experience.
Starting and finishing at Cowboys Park, the event features a fast and flat half-marathon course designed for seasoned runners seeking top performance conditions. Additionally, there's an exciting 8 km route suitable for both serious athletes and casual joggers alike. For younger enthusiasts aged 2 to 12, a dedicated kids' race ensures that all ages can enjoy this running extravaganza.
The Calgary Fall Classic stands out as the only fall road half marathon in the city, offering participants a memorable journey through the changing autumn landscape of Calgary. The course promises scenic views and a smooth run, making it an ideal choice for those looking to push their limits or simply soak up the season's beauty.
For those unable to join on race day, a virtual option is available from September 20 to October 18, allowing runners worldwide to participate in this community event. Whether you choose to run, walk, or wheel, every distance offers its own unique challenge and reward.
The Calgary Fall Classic not only celebrates the beauty of fall but also supports vital youth programs through fundraising efforts. Proceeds benefit the Calgary Police Youth Foundation (CPYF), which partners with local authorities and communities to provide essential services for young people at risk of criminal involvement or victimization. Over the past nine years, this event has successfully raised over $146,000 for CPYF.
Join us in celebrating fall, supporting youth initiatives, and enjoying a rewarding race experience that brings together runners from all walks of life. Your participation makes a difference!
