Block Party

Join us on Friday, September 18 for an unforgettable evening at City Park Runners! This free event is designed to celebrate Winnipeg’s vibrant running community. The night kicks off at 8:00 PM with the Glow Stick Run—a fun-filled 5KM journey through the park that's all about enjoyment and camaraderie.
No racing, no timing, just a chance for runners of all levels to come together under the glow-in-the-dark vibe. Gather your friends or run crew, grab some glow sticks, and prepare for an evening full of excitement as you navigate the illuminated trails with hundreds of fellow enthusiasts.
Following the Glow Run is the Ultimate Shoe Demo Night where major running brands like ON, Brooks, ASICS, Saucony, and New Balance will be on hand. This unique opportunity allows participants to test out a variety of footwear options before committing to any purchase. Whether you're looking for your next pair or just want to see what's new in the world of running shoes, this is the place to be.
The festivities continue at City Park Runners with the Runners Street Market where food and drinks are available along with live music performances. Brands will have activations and demos set up throughout the venue, offering giveaways and prizes for attendees. It’s a perfect blend of community spirit and retail fun that caters specifically to runners and their needs.
This event is completely free—no entry or race fees required. All you need to do is register online and show up ready to join in on all the activities. Whether you’re an avid runner, just starting out, or simply there for the atmosphere, everyone is welcome at City Park Runners. Bring your energy and get set for a night that combines fitness with fun.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of something special in Winnipeg’s running scene!
