The 7th annual Fort McMurray Marathon is just around the corner.

To grab a spot in the starting grid, regular registration ends Aug. 31, with late registration opening Sept. 1.

Kelsey Stefanizyn, Chair of the Fort McMurray Marathon, is happy so many look forward to participating in the city’s largest annual running event.

“This Marathon was designed with our local runners in mind and we are so happy it turned into a yearly staple for so many people looking to pursue their running goals and to challenge themselves on a really great course.”

A partnership between the Municipality and the Regional Recreation Corporation (RRC), the Marathon features six distances.

ATB Financial sponsors five distances from 3 km to the full 42.2 km, and then there’s the Inter Pipeline Kid’s Fun Run.

Get on your marks Sunday, September 15, 2019.
