2026 Edmonton Heartbeat Run

The 2026 Edmonton Heartbeat Run takes place on September 20, 2026 in Edmonton, AB, at Hawrelak Park. This fall race invites runners and walkers to take on a North Saskatchewan River setting with options for 1K, 3K, 5K, and 10K. It’s a community-minded event with a course that uses park pathways and trail sections, plus a family-friendly run/walk feel. The event supports cardiovascular care through the University Hospital Foundation.

Runners start in Hawrelak Park and head onto the North Saskatchewan River trail system, with a course that mixes paved pathways and lower gravel trails. The 10K includes a road climb on Groat Road, while shorter options use out-and-back pathway routes.
