River's Edge Running Series

River's Edge Running Series REU is held in the beautiful Saskatchewan River valley near Devon Alberta. Next race Sept. 19 2026

The races of the River's Edge Running Series are located north west of Devon, Alberta, on some of the most beautiful varied terrain in central Alberta. They are a fundraiser for Olive Tree Projects, an organization started by an amazing young lady, Sarah Wallace, who has, in her young life helped numerous women and children in Haiti. 100% of the proceeds after race expenses will go to support this worthwhile cause.

The forecast for Saturday 4July is for sun and plus 21. But whatever it actually is the training/orientation run will go ahead.
Meet at our place, 26323 TWP RD 511 Spruce Grove T7Y 1E2, which is nowhere near Spruce Grove, but 1km west of Hwy 60 on the south side of Graminia Rd which is just north of Devon. Please plan to arrive early enough so we can leave by 9AM. Refreshments provided after the run, maybe fresh cinnamon buns.
Runners who have not attended one of our training runs before must sign a waiver to attend. Email me at [email protected] for one.

There is a price increase coming up on July 5 to enter REU. We are happy to receive the extra money from those that do not sign up before I do feel obliged to remind runners about the deadline.

The weather was not as bad as was forecast so we could have had a pleasant run this morning. The trails are in good shape so it would be a pity to not run on them before they grow in. So next Saturday July 4 we will try again, only this time we will not be so quick to cancel and let runners decide if they want to run. So cinnamon buns will be baked next Saturday

Sadly, we have decide to cancel tomorrow's run because of the miserable forecast. The next one planned is for July 18 bu...

Sadly, we have decide to cancel tomorrow's run because of the miserable forecast. The next one planned is for July 18 but an earlier one is a possibility once we figure out when.

Regretfully we have decided to cancel the training run on the REU trails scheduled for tomorrow. Weather forecasts are generally accurate 24 hrs ahead and tomorrow will be a miserable day for a run. The next opportunity to run the trails is July 18 but an earlier one is a possibility.

The first opportunity to check out some of the REU trails is next Saturday June 27 by which time the Homestead Loop will be cleared of long grass and fallen trees, but probably not mosquito free. Meet at our place, 26323 TWP RD 511 Spruce Grove T7Y 1E2, which is nowhere near Spruce Grove, but 1km west of Hwy 60 on the south side of Graminia Rd which is just north of Devon.

PROCRASTINATORS BE WARNED
