GSD Run

GSD Run is Calgary’s energetic and inclusive road running event designed for everyone—from first-time runners to seasoned racers. You can choose from three distances: 21.1 km (half-marathon), 10 km, or 5 km, all taking place on a flat and fast paved course along the scenic Nose Creek Pathway with the start and finish beside Telus Spark in Bottomlands Park. Whether you run, jog, or walk, the vibe is supportive, fun, and focused on achieving your goal and celebrating your effort. Each participant receives custom race swag including GSD running socks, a unique finisher’s medal, and post-race treats like a giant pretzel (plus options for dietary needs) and a Tuesday Brewing non-alcoholic beverage. There’s also a Virtual Race Option (5 km, 10 km, or 21.1 km) you can complete on your own between April 24 – May 4, 2026 and submit your time to the leaderboard.

More than just a race, the GSD Run delivers a well-organized course, excellent atmosphere, pacers for all paces, and a finish-line celebration that’s worth the effort.
