2026 Saskatoon Running Festival

April 25 - April 26

Welcome to the 2nd annual Saskatoon Running Festival – presented by Craven SPORT Services.

Join us the weekend of April 25-26, 2026, for the perfect start to your running season with several distances – plus a Kids Dash and free activities to help you become a better runner.

You also get to choose your own swag this year – OR choose the Green Bib option, which declines all swag in return for providing more money to help our community. All net proceeds from this year’s Festival are donated to Prairie Run Crew – an Indigenous not-for-profit organization that visits First Nation communities to promote a healthy/active lifestyle.

Kids Dash (under 12) with t-shirt on Saturday, April 25: $25 (limited to 40 Kids running on SMF Field!)

  • Kids under 5 will travel 30 yards (or less) and meet their parent(s) at the finish line on the field
  • Kids under 7 will travel 40 yards and will meet their parents near mid-field
  • Kids under 12 will run the entire field and meet their parents at the south goal line

Due to the unique logo this year – which doesn’t easily lend itself to a medal – there is not a finisher medal. INSTEAD, each participant will receive a metal re-useable cup at the finish line with the event logo! It’s a keepsake you can use at home or place on your desk to remember the journey!

For the Kids Dash, each finisher receives the cup FULL of candy!!
