About Our Race
Our race is held in the Village of Lougheed, AB, the day after our annual fair. This year is the 95th Lougheed Agricultural Fair, and it features a variety of events on the Saturday, including a pancake breakfast, parade, ball tournaments, bench exhibits, show and shine, and a horse show during the day, and beer, wings and a dance in the evening. In an effort to add something new to the weekend, we hosted a 5k foot race the Sunday after the 90th fair in 2012. We have since added a 10k, and in 2016 we added a half marathon! We draw from a wide swath of towns and abilities - seasoned runners and newbies welcome, as are walkers. We have a prediction race prize, so everyone has a chance to win! New this year - we are part of a race series! We've joined with the Wainwright runners who put on a fun 5/10k Bison Run in April and a 5k Bison Dash in September. Complete a distance at each race and you'll get some bling! Bison Run registration is open on Race Roster, and Bison Dash registration should open in February.
We have three goals in putting on this race. The first is to offer a fun and competitive race to our local citizens (and anyone else who wants to join us, of course!) and promote a healthy lifestyle. The second is to encourage people to come and join in the fair festivities all weekend long. And finally, the third is to give local and surrounding businesses an opportunity to advertise to participants and show their support for the health and well being of their communities.
I have been incredibly inspired by our walkers and our runners, and it truly is a thrill for me to watch everyone come out, challenge themselves, and compete. I hope to make this the best race yet for all of you!!
Hope to see you in August!
