2025 ELITE PROGRAM

Welcome, high-performance athletes!

We support elite Canadian and international athletes who want to race in our Marathon, Half-Marathon, or Army 10K events.

Due to a limited budget, all Elite applications will be reviewed and approved individually, with a complimentary entry fee and limited financial support for travel and accommodation (see below).

We hope you will join us for the opportunity to run a stunning fast, flat course with an exciting downtown start and finish in the heart of Edmonton, Alberta’s capital city!

Application Process

Step 1: Check the criteria below to verify your qualification for the elite program.

Additional requirements:

All applicants must meet the outlined athletic standards to be eligible for the elite program.
Priority support will be given to Marathon and Half-Marathon events.
The level of support for the Marathon, Half-Marathon, and 10K will depend on qualifying times, gender equity, and the total number of applications. No more than $300 will be offered to support travel.
Performance standards must have been attained within the past year. If this is not possible, please explain briefly since we recognize there were limited race opportunities.
Age Group athletes, Masters Athletes, and other athletes close to qualifying standards will be considered depending on the number of Elite applicants.
First-time Marathon applicants must meet the 21.1 km Half-Marathon standard.
First-time 21.1 km Half-Marathon applicants must meet the 10K Road Race standard.

IMPORTANT: All athletes must provide their own valid authorization to enter and exit Canada (i.e., visa, passport). We do not provide official letters of invitation.
