Spring is coming and the Servus Calgary Marathon will be here before you know it! Don’t let the word ‘marathon’ throw you off, though. This is a weekend to celebrate movement, from the Diaper Dash to a full marathon. The Servus Calgary Marathon has something for everyone, from the littlest movers and shakers to elite athletes, weekend warriors, and nervous newbies.

Run Calgary is the organization behind the Servus Calgary Marathon. They produce high-quality running events to enhance the community running experience. Their events annually bring 25,000 runners together and raise over $900,000 for charity. While promoting experiences requiring exceptional fitness, they also foster community spirit and offer many options for kids and families.

Servus Calgary Marathon

The Servus Calgary Marathon weekend is May 24 – 25, 2025. If you can run 42.2 km, by all means, sign up for the marathon. But don’t let such logistics scare you away! There’s also a half marathon, a 10 km, and a 5 km race. The Servus Calgary Marathon is for anyone who wants to get moving, find a new challenge, or have fun with their kids. Plus, it’s family-friendly, with terrific kids’ events and Infant Feeding Stations along the marathon and half-marathon routes for breastfeeding parents.

Diaper Dash

Instead of 42.2 km, the Wee Wild Ones Diaper Dash invites the littlest athletes to crawl or toddle through their own 42.2-foot event! This race helps kick off the weekend on May 24, 2025, at 11:30 AM.

Designed for babies under 24 months, the course will keep them on track, with road carpeting to protect their hands and knees. Of course, every racer needs a support crew. The Wee Wild Ones Diaper Dash works best with two trusted adults — one at the starting line to send them off and one at the finish line to cheer them on.

Athletes will be placed in heats based on age, and each will receive a custom race ‘baby’ bib and finisher medal. Winners of each heat will receive a special diaper “cake” and a pair of running shoes! Spots are limited, so sign up soon. And don’t forget your camera!

Kids Race

Get your kids excited about an active, healthy lifestyle! The Wee Wild Ones Kids Race at the Servus Calgary Marathon is perfect for kids ages 2 – 12 and easy for parents and families. There are two options: May 24, 2025, at 10:30 AM or May 25, 2025, at 9:30 AM.

At approximately 1.2 km, kids can run on their own or with a parent or guardian (adults don’t need to register). Each child will receive a t-shirt and medal with their registration. Plus, some of their favourite mascots will be there to cheer them on, and afterwards, kids can enjoy the Sport Calgary Kids’ Zone at the post-race Finish Festival.

Make the weekend even more exciting! Kids can also participate in the Youth Team Challenge. Gather your team, friends, or schoolmates to raise money for charity, win prizes, and accomplish your running goals!

Run Calgary is passionate about encouraging people to live healthy, active lifestyles, on race weekend and beyond! Families can prepare for the races and enjoy wholesome, outdoor fun by downloading a free 41-day Kids Kilometre tracker. If kids walk, jog, or run 1 km a day leading up to race weekend, their final 1.2 km on race day will complete a full 42.2 km marathon!

A full marathon might not be for everybody, but the Servus Calgary Marathon truly has something for everyone — from kids to elite athletes! There’s a $20 youth pricing (plus fees and taxes) for anyone 18 or under across all events. But register today, because the sooner you register for the adult races, the more money you’ll save. And the more time you’ll have to get warmed up!
