Course Hazards

The course travels through Mosaic Stadium, parking lots, sidewalks, and the QCX grounds. While there are no stairs on the course, participants will encounter ramps with gradual inclines in Mosaic Stadium, as well as uneven surfaces throughout the route.

As the course passes through an active fair site, temporary infrastructure may also be present, including:

  • Power cables
  • Water lines
  • Utility covers
  • Other event-related equipment

Please watch your footing, remain aware of your surroundings, and leave enough space between yourself and other participants to safely navigate any obstacles.

Severe Weather

In the event of severe weather, follow the directions of event staff and seek shelter in the nearest publicly accessible building if instructed to do so.

The QCX Midway 5K is a fun run that welcomes participants of all ages and abilities!

Please be courteous to everyone on the course by:

  • Being mindful of runners and walkers at different speeds.
  • Giving participants using wheelchairs or mobility devices plenty of space.
  • Never pushing or assisting someone in a wheelchair unless they have asked for help.
  • Watching for younger participants and families throughout the course.

Cross the finish line to receive your commemorative race medal before heading to Confederation Park for the Free Pancake Breakfast presented by SaskMilk.

After breakfast, stick around and enjoy everything QCX has to offer. The midway opens at 12 p.m., with rides, entertainment, agricultural exhibits, family attractions, food, and more.

Will there be a bag check?
No. Bag check will not be available.

Will there be water available?
