About
The Flyathlon is a multi-sport event that integrates three activities: trail running, fishing, and craft beer. While many enjoy these activities independently, we have found over the years that putting them together is even more enjoyable. The overwhelming majority of funds raised by our Flyathletes through this event will be used for freshwater ecosystems. Flyathlon is designed to be largely inclusive rather than truly competitive. Flyathlon seeks to break down barriers through accessible events that create positive and fishy outdoor experiences and memories. It is our hope that through this type of exposure, we can create new outdoor advocates. Flyathlon is designed specifically to promote responsible fishing practices and trail habits.
Modelled after Running Rivers in Colorado
Flyathlon 2026
We hosted Canada’s first Flyathlon in Red Deer, Alberta, on September 12th, 2026. This community-centered fundraising event brought locals from all around the province for a day of unwinding and connecting.
This is the first of an annual event. We’re looking to host Flyathlon again next year, so keep an eye out for our latest news for updates.
In the meantime, take a look at this recap to see how our first Flyathlon went down!
