5 Peaks Trail Run Terwillegar

Terwillegar Park is located on the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River at the end of Rabbit Hill Road. Numerous multi-use trails and an expansive off-leash area make this park perfect for those looking to get outdoors and enjoy nature. The park also has a 262-metre-long footbridge that links the park to Jan Reimer Park (formerly Oleskiw River Valley Park) on the north side of the river.

The first race of the Northern Alberta Series is held in early May. Taking place in the popular Terwillegar Park, with over 186 hectares of rugged terrain located in Southwest Edmonton, the 5 Peaks course loops hills, single track, and mud giving participants a fantastic trail running experience in the heart of Edmonton’s river valley. The trail running community looks forward to this event to reconnect with their friends after a cold winter and enjoy the warmth of the spring sunshine.

Running in Terwillegar Park, you can expect many technical trail sections with steep descents and impressive riverside climbs. Watch out for roots, rocks, and sharp up/down hills along the way! Take a moment to enjoy the view as you run parallel to the river. The park is ever popular with families and dog walkers, so take care when you are sprinting to the finish line.
