THE INTUITIVE RUNNER
FIND JOY IN RUNNING.
Event Details
DATE: Saturday, September 6, 2025
TIME: Anytime between 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM
​
LOCATION: Bud Miller Park, Lloydminster, AB
(Close to the Ampitheatre. There will be a canopy tent as "headquarters").
COST: FREE! But registration is required for planning and communication purposes.
PARTICIPATION: Free and open to every body!
Walk, run, or power hike – all paces and abilities are welcome. This is about intuitive movement and enjoying the journey.
Come and go as you please within the timeframe. Stay for just one lap, or push for fifty! Every step you take adds to our collective mileage board.
Think of this as a big, fun, friendly community relay!
Last year, we collectively achieved 937.96 km and raised $370! Let’s see if we can beat that!
Course Details
We’ve got a lovely 2.43 km route sorted for the Runathon in Bud Miller Park in Lloydminster!
The course starts fairly close to the Amphitheatre. You'll be happy to know that the majority of the route is on treed trail with only a small section of pavement. This means it will be much easier on your body, especially if you plan to log more mileage throughout the day!
My canopy tent will be set up as the "headquarters" near the start location.
Save the Route to Your Device!
To help you navigate, here are the links to the route maps. Feel free to save them to your Strava or Garmin device so everyone is on the same page come event day! I will do my best to mark the course clearly, but I highly recommend relying on the map as your primary guide.
It's a perfect opportunity to get in a long run (great for those tackling the Iron Horse Ultra, 5 weeks out!), practice your fueling strategies, or just share some loops and laughs with fellow movers.
Bud Miller Park offers public washrooms and water fountains. Please bring your own fuel and snacks (BYOF!)
Collaborating for a Cause: Supporting the Lloydminster Men's Shelter
I’m super pumped to collaborate and support the Lloydminster Men's Shelter for this event, supporting their vital work for our unhoused community members.
Join the Running for Shelter 5K!
On the same day, the Lloydminster Men's Shelter is hosting their "Running for Shelter 5K" at 11:00 AM - same place (how convenient!).
-
Contribute Your Laps: If you participate in their 5K, that distance can be added to your total laps on our Run-A-Thon tracking board!
-
Medal & Shirt Option: If you'd like to take part in their official 5K and receive a medal and t-shirt, please register for their event directly here: Running for Shelter 5K Registration
How You Can Help:
-
Monetary Donations: At the event, I'll have a QR code available for easy direct donations to the Lloydminster Men's Shelter.
-
Physical Donations: I'll also be bringing a bin for collecting gently used clothes, blankets, shoes, or new toiletries. Anything helps!
If you can’t make it to the Runathon or Running for Shelter 5K but you’d still like to support, you can donate here:

Why Register (It's Still FREE!)
Even though the 12-Hour Runathon/Walkathon is free, please register through the form below if you plan to attend. This helps me:
COMMUNICATE: Send you important updates (like exact meeting spot, route, or any weather-related changes).
PLAN: Estimate numbers for lap tracking whiteboards (and take-home lap-trackers) and ensure a great experience for everyone!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Runathon is a separate event from the Running for Shelter 5K. I won't have access to their registration list, so if you plan on joining the Runathon as well, please register here with me still!
Come share some laps and let's see how many kilometres Lloydminster can do! Let's move, connect, and make a difference together!
