Women's marathon training, participation initiatives

Run Calgary is rolling out a new free women's training program for the 2026 Calgary Marathon, addressing the gender participation gap in longer distances. The program officially begins January 5, 2026, with registration remaining open until mid-April. Participants receive training materials, weekly emails, and a comprehensive handbook throughout the program. This initiative responds to research showing that as race distances increase, women's participation drops significantly. The program aims to increase female participation at marathon distance during Calgary Marathon Weekend, providing structured support and community for women training for their first or next marathon.
