About the race

Join Run Calgary and local author Ed Bickley for some Ale Trail fun on Thursday, November 26 at 6 pm. We will meet at Cabin Brewing Company and head out for a run or walk, then enjoy a book excerpt reading from Ed Bickley's new release, Never Look Back: You're Not Going That Way.

Ed Bickley is a long-time member of the Calgary running community and was inducted into the Run Calgary Hall of Fame in 2014. Run Calgary has retired Ed's bib number, #501, in celebration of his many years of participation in the Calgary Marathon races.

Never Look Back is a memoir of Ed's decades of experiences with running and semi-competitive racing. It describes how and why he began running, the things that have kept him doing so for more than 35 years, and personal stories he has accumulated along the road.

City insight: Calgary

Calgary is the largest city in Alberta, Canada, sitting where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet in the southwestern part of the province, about 280 km south of Edmonton. The city proper had 1,306,784 residents in 2021, making it the third-largest city in Canada. The climate is cold, dry and windy with chinook winds, so late spring, summer and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
