Entries NOW Open
We are excited to announce the 2022 Moonlight Run will include both in-person and virtual events!
This year's Moonlight Run will include 6 km and 10 km distances that can be done in-person or virtually. After a successful introduction last year, our two challenge distances of 38.44 km and 76.88 km (representing 0.01% of the distance to the Moon (384,400 km) or to the Moon and back (768,800 km)) are back again as virtual options.
Our 35th Anniversary swag options include pull over hoodies (available in adult sizes) and long-sleeved cotton tees (available in youth or adult sizes).
All participants will receive a Moonlight Run Finisher medal!
Entries will be limited to 1500 participants.
The Moonlight Run will be following all COVID guidelines required by the Alberta Government and race details will change as needed. For the safety of our volunteers and participants, proof of full vaccination or a privately paid negative test result taken within 72 hours of race day is required for all volunteers or participants aged 12 or older. Details on showing or submitting this information will be provided closer to March 19.
Join us in-person on Saturday, March 19th, 2022, at 8 PM for either a 6 km walk/run or a 10 km run. Both distances start at CASA in downtown Lethbridge and head into the river valley for a loop in Indian Battle Park before returning to CASA up the challenging Wendy’s Hill.
Run or walk your route and log your time and distances between 8 AM on Saturday, March 19th and midnight on Sunday, March 27th, 2022. You can run/walk the course of your choice and track it using your watch or phone. Treadmills (yay, no hills or -30 temps!) can also be used. The virtual run is based on the honour system so please post genuine times and distances as they are completed.
Login information and a link to your posting dashboard will be emailed to you on March 17th, 2022.
Results for virtual and in-person events of the same distance will be posted as separate events.

The 10K is a RUN ONLY (sorry NO WALKERS) and starts at 8 PM SHARP on 8th Street to the east of CASA. We request that you seed yourself according to your speed at the start line. Due to COVID social distancing all results placings and awards are based on CHIP TIME (everyones time starts when they cross the timing mat).
The course turns west from 8th Street onto 3rd Ave and down Wendys Hill into the river valley. The course does get dark in the river valley so please take that into consideration. The 6 km and 10 km routes will be the same as the route last used in 2019. Please review the map here. Both routes will be heading south along Indian Battle Road at the bottom of the 3rd Avenue hill. The 6K route will be an out-and-back along this road and the 10K will do this section with another out-and-back section past the Helen Schuler Nature Centre before returning up the hill to CASA.
The course CLOSES at 9:30 PM.
We are sorry but there are NO DOGS allowed.

Moonlight Run is all about community! Many schools in Lethbridge and the surrounding have students, staff, and families who take part in the Moonlight Run year after year, promoting active lifestyles and fostering healthy relationships in the process. To further encourage active schools, the Moonlight Run School Challenge will award the school with the most participants the "2022 Moonlight Run School Challenge" title and a donation to KidSport Lethbridge & Taber will be made in that school's name. Students and staff can all be counted as part of a school's community so make sure to include your school when you register. A participant in any Moonlight Run event (in-person or virtual) can be counted. Good luck school's and let's stay active!

A written or printed copy of the negative COVID-19 test result is required on an approved rapid antigen, rapid PCR, or lab-based PCR test. The test needs to be approved by either Health Canada or the lab accreditation body of jurisdiction. Test results should be a written or printed copy that clearly outlines the type of test, time of sample collection, clear indication of a negative result, and the laboratory that completed the test (if applicable). Photos of a rapid test or result taken offsite will not be sufficient. A self-test completed offsite or self-produced documentation of a negative test result will not be sufficient. Please do not bring completed self-tests or rapid tests as proof of a negative COVID-19 test result.
