Anyone, of any age, gender, background, and race can develop epilepsy at any time during their life. Approximately 2% of the population has epilepsy – 20,000 Calgarians – enough to fill the Saddledome! Many others are affected however, such as family, friends, peers, employers, teachers and others. We are the only local organization that addresses the impact of epilepsy. The Epilepsy Association of Calgary is a local, charitable organization that has served the community for nearly 65 years. All proceeds from this years event will be donated to this cause that has now become near and dear to us. In light of this the Harvest Half Marathon has decided to work with the Epilepsy Association of Calgary this year. Just prior to the 2019 Harvest Half Marathon our race director, Nolan Tudor, was diagnosed with Epilepsy at the age of 34. We are excited to launch our 2023 race registration on June 2nd.
We have raised over $ 700 000 to help our beneficiaries manage their programs and we look forward to helping you enjoy a premier half marathon race this fall ! The Harvest Half Marathon has supported the Calgary running community and local Alberta based charities for the past 20 years. Join hundreds of other runners on September 30th, 2023 for a run through the park! It has a Beautiful course, awesome volunteers, is well organized and has great prizes. Weaving its way through beautiful Fish Creek Park, the Harvest Half Marathon checks all the boxes. Since then the race has grown and become a staple in many runners fall racing plans.
The race started with humble beginnings and only a few dozen participants in 2000.
