Medicine Hat summers are filled with events that challenge avid and beginner runners, or families who enjoy strolling the trails together.
Conquer the Coulee
Being one of Medicine Hat’s largest races located in the beautiful, tree-filled Kin Coulee Park, over 400 racers of all levels take part each year. The race is seven-kilometres with 28 obstacles, like rope climbs and monkey bars, to challenge and encourage growth for the next race.
Conquer the Ridge
Take in the comforting fall colours during this race, beginning in Echo Dale Regional Park. The trail winds through the coulees, with views of the South Saskatchewan River from above, and Medicine Hat’s city centre in the far distance.

Great Pumpkin Run
A family-friendly race hosted in October, where families and friends dress in costumes to celebrate Halloween. Surrounded by 300-year-old cottonwood trees in Police Point Park, with up-close glimpses of the admired cliffs facing the South Saskatchewan River, the natural beauty and wildlife is a treat.
MHC Rattler Run
Run or walk this trail, which starts and finishes on Medicine Hat College's main campus. People of all ages and abilities are encouraged to get in on the fun. People with strollers and wheelchairs are encouraged to participate.
Union Trail
Union Trail is hosted the day after Conquer the Coulee in Kin Coulee Park, which is a mix of paved and cross-country trails, with no obstacles. It’s a perfect race to end the weekend, and a great race for all abilities and ages.
