Confirmation of your race entry will be e-mailed to you once payment has been processed. Printed confirmation, digital confirmation or photo ID may required at race package pick-up. If you have not received the email after 20 minutes of registering, please check your junk mail folders as it may not have gone through depending on your spam folder settings.

For detailed information on the use of strollers and age minimums, please head to our Family Resources page.

All participants in each race must be registered, with the exception of children that will be in strollers for the entire duration of the race. Please note that children in strollers without a bib will not receive a shirt, medal or any amenities at the finish line.

For kids that want to participate in both the Kids Race and the 5 km event (not in a stroller), registration for both events is required; however, our discounted youth pricing will still apply to both events.

We ask that any kids joining parents/guardians who are not registered (i.e. will be in a stroller for the duration of the event), please refrain from taking a medal and other amenities at the finish line.

All participants who register for a REGULAR BIB will receive a technical shirt t-shirt (for all distances).

Register early as shirts are ordered months in advance and we can't guarantee t-shirt sizes will be available.

Participants who register for a GREEN BIB will not receive a technical t-shirt or a finish medal. More details here.

Pregnant or postpartum individuals have the option to defer their registration to the following year.

Participants interested in this can complete a deferral form linked here.

Deferrals are accepted pending a review from the Run Calgary office. You can expect a response within 5-10 business days. If your deferral request is accepted, your registration will be deactivated and you will receive a promo code that can be used to register for your race at the next Beneva Calgary Marathon.

Deferrals will only be valid for 1 year. If deferral is not utilized at the next Beneva Calgary Marathon, no refund or additional deferral will be provided.

Requests made after Friday, May 14, 2027 will not be accepted.

The Beneva Calgary Marathon participates in the City of Calgary's Fair Entry program and offering a reduced flat rate registration fee of $30 for low income Calgarians who are Fair Entry members with Recreation Fee Assistance.

If your Fair Entry membership is not valid at the time of registration, your registration will be deactivated.

The Fair Entry discount code cannot be combined with any other promotional offers.

The Fair Entry discount cannot be retroactively applied to anyone already registered. Refunds will not be available for anyone already registered.

HOW CORRALS WORK ON RACE MORNING

We recommend arriving in the start venue 60–75 minutes before your start time, and moving into your corral in the start chute at least 20 minutes before release. At the start of the race, corrals are released one at a time to avoid congestion on the course and ensure a smoother race start process. Rest assured, your official chip time begins when you cross the start line. 

Participants are requested to enter the start chute according to the colour on their bib. There will be coloured signs lining the start chute that correspond to each corral. Volunteers will be helping participants navigate the start chute and seed accordingly.

If you are running/walking with others, please seed yourselves together in the corral of your slowest runner/walker.

No runners are permitted to start after the hard start line close time. This is a permit and safety requirement.

If you arrive after your corral has moved, you may be directed to the final wave.
If you arrive after the hard start line close time, you will not be permitted to start.

Yes. All Calgary Marathon race courses are professionally measured and certified to ensure they meet their advertised distances.

Course measurements are based on the shortest possible running route using calibrated equipment. The marathon and half marathon courses specifically are certified according to Athletics Alberta, Athletics Canada, AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races), and World Athletics standards. This certification ensures accuracy and credibility for the course, allowing athletes to receive a certified result that can be used for qualifying standards, records, and rankings, including qualifying for the AbbottWMM MTT.

If your GPS watch records a distance that is longer than the official course, this is completely normal. GPS devices measure the exact path you run, which is rarely the shortest possible route, and are subject to normal variations in accuracy. Your GPS distance can be affected by:

• Physical Blockages and Multipath Errors: Obstructions like dense tree cover, high buildings, or tunnels block signals. Signals can also bounce off surfaces like glass or water before reaching your device, causing location errors (multipath interference).
• Electronic Noise: Nearby high-voltage power lines, faulty electronics, and telecommunications equipment operating on adjacent frequencies can leak electromagnetic noise and disrupt receivers
• The route you actually ran, which is often not the shortest possible path due to taking wide turns, weaving through participants, or leaving the race course

As a result, it is common for GPS watches to display a race distance that is slightly longer than the officially certified course.

Official race results are based on the chip timing system from Startline Timing and will not be adjusted based on individual GPS/watch measurements.

All participants who register for a REGULAR BIB will receive a finisher medal (for 5 km, 10 km, 21.1 km, 42.2 km).

Participants who register for a GREEN BIB will not receive a finisher medal. More details here.

ALL Kids Race participants and Diaper Dash participants WILL receive a medal.

Post-race massages for are available to purchase for both Saturday and Sunday (while quantities last), and will be provided by Massage Heights. Limited spots are available. When you register for your race, you can add a massage to your cart as an add-on product.

You can also add a massage to your existing registration by heading to our "Store" on Race Roster. You will then be prompted to login to your Race Roster account to confirm your registration, then add the product/service to your cart.

We will email you prior to race weekend with more information. On race day (Saturday and Sunday), massages will be given on a first-come first-served basis, but you shouldn't have to wait longer than 10 minutes.

This information is subject to change for 2027.

For each distance, prizes will be awarded to the top 3 male athletes and top 3 female athletes, along with the top male/female masters athlete for each race. Awards will be presented on the Enmax Stage in the Post-Race Finish Festival on each race day.

10 km: Saturday @ 9:00AM
5 km: Saturday @ 10:30AM

Your race results are posted online in real time through startlinetiming.com and posted on our website. Chip timing will track your start and finish providing quick and accurate results and all runners must use this system. Your chip is attached to your bib, please make sure your bib is visible and not folded for accurate timing. Please note, the chips are disposable and are not required to be returned.

On the back of each bib, there will also be a QR Code that can be scanned and will immediately direct you to this year's live race results.

Yes! We provide Age Category Winners and Non-Binary Category Winners a complimentary ribbon clip that can be added to your finisher medal or displayed.

More details on how this process works can be found here!

This information is subject to change for 2027.

• EAS is a standardized colour-coded system that communicates the projected status of course and venue conditions to all participants, volunteers, event staff and spectators.
• This colour-coded system ranges from Low (GREEN) to Moderate (YELLOW) to High (RED) to Extreme (BLACK). We encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with the EAS colour indicators, watch for updates and plan accordingly.

This information is subject to change.

• Participants, volunteers and event staff will be notified of the projected Event Alert System (EAS) status via email and SMS notifications (if opted in). Updates will be daily and begin the Monday before race day, continuing through race morning.
• In the event that the EAS Status changes, participants, volunteers and event staff will be notified via email, SMS notification (if opted in), PA announcements and social media posts.

This information is subject to change.

• EAS Status will be indicated on-venue via color-coded flags located at Information Tents that are located in the start area and finish/festival area, and on-course at all aid stations. In the event that the EAS Status changes, flags will be updated accordingly to notify participants of the best course of action.
• Listen to the announcements on the start and finish stages, as well as during the awards presentation, as emcees will notify participants, volunteers and spectators of any change in the status.

• With an increase in more frequent weather events, this will be an effective tool for us to communicate event updates to participants, volunteers and staff. 
• EAS is a standardized system that has been utilized and refined by many other prominent race organizations not only within Canada, but also in the United States and abroad. Expect to see it more frequently at most races.

• EAS status levels are based on a variety of factors, including a myriad of weather conditions and event conditions.

• Beginning the Monday of race week, our main EAS page will display the most recent EAS status at the top of the page in the form of a coloured bar with the current status/level stated. 
• Also indicated will be the date and time that the status was last updated.
