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.

It is not at every race you come across a runner knitting a scarf, but it happened at this year's River's Edge Ultra and Duane Overn was there to record it. Click on the link below to see more of Duane's photos.

The first of the photos from our volunteer photographers are ready. Thanks to Duane Overn for not only his photographs but also his many hours helping set up and take down the start/finish area. The use of his truck towing the trailer Jim Chernichen loaned us helped make all the hauling of equipment so much faster. It takes a small army of volunteers to make any race a success. I am grateful to you all for stepping up and making this year's REU perhaps the best ever.
