The 14th annual Fall Challenge starts 8 a.m. Sunday at the Kingswood Park venue site.
The 21.1-kilometre half-marathon walk is followed by the half-marathon run, 10-km run/walk and five-km run/walk at 9 a.m. on the Red Willow trails.
The Fall Challenge was bumped up a week to avoid last year’s conflict with the Sept. 18 Terry Fox Run.
As of Wednesday’s online registration deadline, 120 runners and walkers were confirmed for the event hosted by the Sturgeon Valley Athletic Club.
Last year’s finishers included 66 runners in the half-marathon, 50 in the 10-km run/walk and 49 in the five-km run/walk.
The half-marathon winner was Paul Mason of Red Deer in one hour, 25 minutes and 21 seconds.
Reina Ainsworth of Edmonton repeated as the fastest female for third place overall at 1:27:56.
Ainsworth is among 50 half-marathon registrants for Sunday.
