This is a beautiful, rural, 21.1 km, point-to-point race, starting at 7 a.m. in Black Diamond, running through Turner Valley and finally heading through rolling pasturelands to end at the Millarville Farmers’ Market as it opens for its 30th season.
Invite friends and family to cheer you crossing the finish line, then join them in spending the rest of your morning exploring the food, crafts and music of southern Alberta’s largest and oldest outdoor Market.
We have a clay-fired Finishers’ Medal, fashioned by one of our pottery vendors, waiting for you!!!
