The Brita Night Run 2026 - Edmonton returns on Saturday September 19th at 8:00 P.M., bringing a unique running experience to the vibrant city of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. The race will take place at Wabamun Lake Provincial Park, located just north of downtown Edmonton, offering runners a scenic backdrop for their night run. Race morning starts with the park illuminated by the glow of street lamps and the moonlight reflecting off the lake. Participants can expect to see the calm waters under the stars before the event kicks off. The atmosphere is relaxed yet excited as competitors gather in small groups or teams, preparing themselves mentally and physically for a challenging night ahead. The Brita Night Run has been running since 2016, supporting local causes through registration fees and shirt sales. This year marks its tenth anniversary with approximately 500 participants expected to take part, making it one of Edmonton's most anticipated events of the fall season. The event supports various initiatives aimed at promoting healthy living in the community. The race offers a 10K Run and a 5K Run/Walk for all runners. Both distances will traverse Wabamun Lake Provincial Park’s well-maintained trails, providing a mix of flat surfaces and gentle terrain that is suitable for both experienced runners and newcomers alike. The course layout includes several notable features such as the scenic lake path where participants can enjoy views of the water under moonlight. The 10K Run/Walk will start at Wabamun Lake Provincial Park's main entrance on 87th Avenue, near Yellowhead Trail. Participants should expect a steady incline during parts of the course due to minor elevation changes within the park but nothing too challenging for most runners. Alongside the route are a couple of aid stations offering water and energy gels, ensuring that athletes stay hydrated throughout their run. On race day, temperatures will range between 9°C and 21°C with an average feel like temperature around 15°C. The wind is expected to be relatively light at about 10 km/h, though runners should dress appropriately for the conditions, considering a humidity level of 62.6%.
