It is in the spirit of truth, respect and reciprocity that we honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis, and recognize the traditional territories and oral practices of the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Siksika, Piikani and Kainai Nations; the Îyâxe Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney Nations; and the Tsuut’ina Nation. Southern Alberta is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Districts 5 and 6.
OUR CHARITY
For more than 70 years, Heart & Stroke has led the fight against heart disease and stroke by funding lifesaving research. Our work has saved thousands of lives and improved the lives of millions of others. You’ll probably run into someone today who is alive and well thanks to the countless people in Canada who have supported our cause. By taking part in the Dead Cold Run, you’ll help us to continue to save lives and give more precious moments to people living with heart disease or stroke. Together we can beat heart disease, beat stroke, and beat as one.
All participants will receive a finisher’s medal upon completion.
There will be no age group awards.
- IT IS THE ATHLETES RESPONSIBLITY TO KNOW THEIR COURSE.
The course will be marked with flagging, signage and pylons. DO NOT expect volunteers at every intersection. Review your course map, run the route in advance, and add the route to your fitness app to keep you on course! - Help the Environment! We are working towards cup-free events. We will have some cups available at each station, but please come prepared.
- Timing. If there are enough attendees to cover the event expenses, chip timing will be used to provide results. In case it’s not feasible, manual timing will be employed. The results will be accessible online within 24 hours after the event.

NOTE _ THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE INCLEMENT WEATHER
True winter has actually set in (it’s been a while!). We want to ensure the safety of our athletes – AND our volunteers. While athletes can dress for the weather, and stay warm through racing – volunteers stand still! We have set out the following as a guideline.
- At temperatures of -20C (without the wind-chill), the events may be run at the Race Committee’s discretion, under a modified format (such as a shortened course or a modified start time). The Race Committee will consider the temperature trends, wind chill factors, and track conditions expected during the event before making their decision.
- At temperatures below -25C, the events will be cancelled, or may be run WITHOUT volunteer support.
- At any air temperature, any difficult weather conditions such as strong winds, high air humidity, heavy snow, or icy track conditions will result in the Race Committee consulting with the leaders of the participating teams to modify, postpone or cancel the event.
- A decision to cancel may be made prior to race day based on the forecast or snow conditions, or it may be made on race day based on current weather conditions and the forecast. Event updates and/or the final decision will be posted on our website, the event facebook page and via email as well.
