The Yorkton Charity Road Race 2026 returns to the community of Yorkton on August 16th, Saskatchewan, Canada. The event offers a variety of distances including two main runs for adults and one for kids. Racers can choose between the 5K Run or 10K Run, both starting from downtown where Main Street meets Broadway Avenue, near the Yorkton Town Square. Race morning finds the park buzzing with anticipation as participants gather under the shade of mature trees lining the course. The setting is serene and familiar to locals; runners will feel at ease knowing they are contributing to a worthy cause on this beautiful summer day in western Canada. This year marks its fifth edition, having first run in 2022, attracting over 350 participants who have helped raise funds for local scholarships. The course venue begins just off Main Street and weaves through the city’s green spaces before looping back to the starting point at Yorkton Town Square. The terrain is firm yet slightly soft due to the season, making it a challenging but manageable run. Participants will pass by the picturesque Saskatoon River Walk, providing scenic views along their journey. The race starts sharp at 8:00 AM and finishes back in downtown Yorkton, with no elevation changes on this flat course. There are two aid stations set up to ensure hydration points for those running longer distances. Weather conditions that morning will be mild but warm, with a temperature range between 17°C to 24°C and moderate UV index of 4.9. The race also includes a Community 5K Walk suitable for all ages and the Corporate Relay 10K Run encouraging team spirit among businesses in Yorkton.
