Whiteswan Mile

The Whiteswan Mile

An iconic, but perhaps archaic distance in running, the mile has been said to be the true measure of a runner. The Saskatoon Road Runners Association is pleased to present the Whiteswan Road Mile on Sunday, July 12, 2026. Open to all runners, and doubling as the Saskatchewan Athletics Road Mile Championships, this event has been reimagined on a new, flat and fast course. It’s your opportunity to test your mettle against the mile.

Funds raised by this event will be used to support the Huskie Athletics Track and Field and Cross Country Running teams.

Location: Innovation Place - With parking by 18 Innovation Boulevard, Saskatoon, SK
