PLEASE NOTE: 5KM bags will not be moved to the finish line due to the time constraint and will remain at the Start Line Bag Drop tent.
Road Closures
The Servus Calgary Marathon is one of Canada’s premier running events and in order to put on event of this caliber, city resources and temporary road closures are a requirement.
Please check back in 2024 for road closure information to ensure your community is aware of the road closures resulting from the race and that we inconvenience you as little as possible. Traffic and safety plans are in place to mitigate impact in the communities we are running through and please contact the Calgary Marathon Society directly at info@calgarymarathon.com if you have any questions or concerns.
For reference, check out our 2023 Interactive Map to view the 2023 course routes, air station locations, and road closures. Note that these are subject to change for 2024.
Transit to the race start
We encourage you to park for free on Spiller Road and walk west on 25th and into Stampede Park, it's about 800m so this walk can make for a great warm up! Paid parking ($15) is available on Stampede Park (Lot 6) and it's best to give yourself plenty of time and access through the South side, off 25th ave SE. The South entrance is open all day and you will have no challenges exiting. Please note, wait times are variable throughout the day given the single entrance off 25th Ave. Carpooling, getting dropped off, parking just outside the grounds, and taking transit are great alternatives. The closest LRT station to The Grandstand is 25th Ave. SE station called Erlton Station.
The Finish Area/Post-Race Festival is located in ENMAX Park, and will be approximately 800 meters from the GMC Stadium/Start Line Area/Lot 6.

Timing Tag Instructions
Your timing device for the 2024 Servus Calgary Marathon is the Chronotrack B-Tag. It is a single-use, disposable chip that is applied to the back of your race number. In order to receive an accurate time, please ensure your race number is:
- Clearly worn on the front of your torso
- Unaltered, and unmodified
- Pinned in all 4 corners

Do not fold or bend your race number as it will damage the timing chip.
