Flying Acorn Trail Run

Wheat City Run – Saturday October 3, 2026

The Wheat City Run is Brandon’s newest community running event sanctioned by the Manitoba Runners Association, offering a 0.5 Mile Fun Run, 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon. All routes begin and end at Dinsdale Park and take participants through some of the city’s most scenic urban streets.

This isn’t just a run, it’s a chance to make a difference. 100% of event profits will be donated to Samaritan House Ministries, supporting local food security and homelessness initiatives right here in Brandon.

Whether you're a seasoned runner, casual walker, or joining with your family, the Wheat City Run welcomes all ages and abilities. All finishers will receive a medal and a race shirt, and spectators can enjoy a $5 BBQ with proceeds going to charity.

Let’s run together for something that matters.

Run local. Give local. Make change happen.

The Dauphin Rotary Club working closely with Parks Canada is excited to bring you the Riding Mountain ½ Marathon, 10K, & 5K! Beginning in the Wasagaming (Clear Lake) townsite, runners will get to experience some of the most scenic road running that Manitoba has to offer.

Come out and enjoy yourself in what many believe to be the best time of the year to visit Riding Mountain National Park. With the addition of the 5KM run or walk option, the whole family can participate!
