Hypothermic Half Marathon 2026 - Edmonton 2

The Hypothermic Half Marathon is a signature winter running event organized by the Running Room, renowned for its challenging cold-weather races held annually across Canada. The event is designed to offer runners a unique experience, embracing the beauty and adversity of winter running. Participants can expect to race through scenic, snow-dusted landscapes, making it a memorable and invigorating way to kick off the running season.

The 2026 edition in Edmonton, known as "Edmonton 2," is scheduled for February 8, 2026. This event caters to a wide range of runners by offering three in-person distances—half marathon (21.1 km), 10 km, and 5 km—as well as a virtual race option for those who prefer to run remotely. The race is chip-timed, ensuring accurate results, and all finishers receive a commemorative medal and a Hypo Half souvenir. A post-race brunch is included for in-person participants, adding a warm and social finish to the chilly challenge. The event also supports CASA Mental Health, contributing to mental health services for children and families in Alberta.
