About The Jasper Challenge
On March 14, Jasper becomes the finish line for something bigger than a race day.
Introducing The Jasper Challenge, presented by Jasper Main Street, is a community-forward running celebration built for every pace, every age, and every kind of participant. Whether you’re chasing a new PR, tackling your first race, or just showing up for the fun, this is your moment to get moving in the heart of Jasper.
Choose your challenge:

- 5K – the perfect blend of fast, fun, and achievable.
- 1-Mile Race – ideal for kids, families, beginners, and anyone who wants to be part of the day.
But The Jasper Challenge isn’t only about the courses - it’s about the energy. It’s neighbors cheering neighbors, families lining the route, friends crossing the finish together, and the pride of doing something hard (or simply doing something new) in a town that knows how to show up.
Come for the race. Stay for the atmosphere. Leave with a medal, a memory, and the feeling that you were part of something special.
