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.
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.

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.

The "Challenge" this year, for those up to it, gives you the opportunity of completing either 38.44K or 76.88K cumulatively over the 9 days. You can post your distance and time each day you run/walk (you don't have to run/walk every day). The dashboard will calculate your total distance and time once you have posted.
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!
Winners of the 2022 Moonlight School Challenge is Kainai High School

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.
I created this design based on the idea that the buffalo, Iihtsipaitapiiyo’pa (our source of life) is a symbol of survival for Plains persistence hunters. It is said that to be able to live on the prairies, you must be able to run at least 26.2 miles (the distance of a modern marathon) in 3 to 5 hours to survive as a prairie hunter. The Blackfoot (Prairie people - Saokitapix) were ultra-marathon runners. This subsistence strategy was adopted from the knowledge of the wolves, which allowed for the hunters to run their prey to exhaustion to be able to get close enough to kill in closer ranges. This was much more effective than ambush hunting, without putting the hunters in serious danger. That is why I put the pictograph of the buffalo in the center of the design
The bottom symbols from left to right, are of the mountains, an iniskim (Buffalo Calling Stone), and buffalo hooves which tell the origin story of the buffalo hunt. This story is one of a series of creation stories, such as the beginnings of the Blackfoot tribes, and the origins of the ceremonial process of the Piskaan (Buffalo Jump), in which running was a crucial part of this communal subsistence strategy; there were at least two buffalo runners who played a key role in this process. And lastly, the origin story of the iniskim, which aided in the success of the buffalo runners’ role in the ceremonial process of the Piskaan. The iniskim is the symbol of abundance for our people. Without the blessing of the iniskim’s power, the Blackfoot people would have suffered from starvation.
The Matapi at the top is the symbol for human being and can also be interpreted as the Niitsitapi symbol, which represents the Blackfoot people. It can also be looked at as the ikkitstakssin (offering) symbolizing the reciprocity of life, and most importantly, balance; the buffalo gave its life for our survival, which is why we honour the buffalo in our ceremonies, songs, dances, and prayers. It is the symbol of life.
