COURSE AND EVENT DETAILS

**NEW COURSE**

MAP  – https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2755102

*Sept 16, 2024 – The City has just notified us of another event taking place on the pathway system.  To avoid conflict, both events are revising routes. 
We will now be starting the run heading west and run/walk over the LRT Bridge (Menzies Bridge) and continue west to the turnaround points.  

10k athletes will now be doing 2 laps of the 5k course.

There will be a water station at the 2.5k (5k and 10k turnaround point) as well as at the lap/finish area.

We will have cups at each station, but if you prefer you can come with your own bottle.

OUR CHARITY

The University Hospital Foundation was created in 1962 by an act in the Alberta legislature. In the decades since, we have evolved into one of the most successful hospital fundraising organizations in Canada. We raise funds to advance patient care and innovation at the University of Alberta Hospital, the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute and the Kaye Edmonton Clinic.

Funds raised by the Edmonton Heartbeat Run will support the Maz Innovation Fund, ensuring the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute remains a world-class cardiac centre for years to come. Support of this fund will lead to the advancement of clinical programs, quality improvement, the purchase of new equipment, and research, in order to support developments in cardiac care, such as minimally invasive approaches.

This fund has already supported initiatives like:

– Surgical procedure to remove blood clots blocking the arteries carrying blood to the lungs, improving oxygen levels – one of only two programs in Canada

– Virtual cardiac rehabilitation for patients unable to attend in-person programs

– After a successful pilot program, proving the safety and effectiveness of Ev-Vivo equipment to essentially keep lungs ‘alive’ outside the body, this technology will begin to be used with patients.

Results will be posted onsite as they are updated and official results will be posted on our website within 24hours of the event.

This policy has been developed by Triathlon Alberta/Triathlon BC and utilized by Multisportscanada to make an appropriate decision when the Field of Play is impacted by low visibility or forest fire smoke. 

Full details on the protocol can be found here.

We will be utilizing the Air Quality reporting made available by the Alberta Government.  https://airquality.alberta.ca/map/

With a Level of 7 or greater, the event will be cancelled.  We will notify participants 72 hours in advance with the current Air Quality levels, but as conditions can change within hours, a final decision will not be made until the morning of the event.

Here’s a forecast map

As we have applied for all permits, purchased all event materials (medals, cycling gear and related merchandise) and confirmed post event meal numbers meaning that we have committed all registrations to the event, with no possibility of getting these funds back, no refunds, credits or rollovers will be available.

If the event is cancelled, all event merchandise will be mailed out.
