Calgary Marathon

Reminder to residents that the Servus Calgary Marathon will be running through Inglewood on Saturday May 24 & Sunday, May 25, 2025. They have shared an interactive map that shows the route being taken

The Executive Director of the Calgary Marathon has messaged the community association the following:

Good morning to our Community partners, Community Associations, BRI and BRZ, I am reaching out today so that you and your team have ample opportunity to remind your staff, residents, residents' families and friends, and any other associates that the Servus Calgary Marathon will be running through your neighborhood on Saturday May 24 & Sunday, May 25, 2025. This Interactive Map is a valuable resource that will give your residents and staff the opportunity to better understand the road closures that will potentially affect their neighborhood and properties. We will do our very best to allow as much traffic through designated points controlled by police officers and volunteer Course Marshals, but drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians may be held back for several minutes until there is a safe break in race participants. I would like to invite your staff, residents, residents' families and friends, and associates to volunteer for one of the many volunteer roles that are still needing to be filled on race weekend. Course Marshaling is an easy way to volunteer right in their community along the race route and be directly involved in the energy of the race day experience. Interested volunteers can go to our Volunteer Registration Page to sign up to Course Marshal or for one of the many other roles available. I have attached a Race Notification that will allow your staff, residents, residents' families and friends, and associates to quickly access the Interactive Map and Volunteer Registration Page - it is a valuable resource to post on your community notifications board and/or newsletter to help inform your residents of the road closures in your neighborhood. This was also the direct mailer sent to 50,000 postal codes, on and around the Calgary Marathon route. That is just one of many notification tactics that is part of our comprehensive communication strategy to be good neighbours and community partners. There will also be City of Calgary no parking signs and BOLD reminder signs going up on and around the route before race weekend as well as significant media and traffic advisories. Any amplification you can provide through your channels are welcome. With over 16,000 runners and 1500 volunteers, the Servus Calgary Marathon is Calgary's largest race weekend. In 2024, the Calgary Marathon Charity Challenge raised over $900,000 for 103 local charities to help young people reach their infinite potential, and build vibrant communities! In its twelve year history, the Charity Challenge has helped raise more than $10 million in Calgary.

Plan accordingly and volunteer if you are interested! PDF of the mailer sent out to residents attached below.
