A certified Half and Full Marathon course makes this a popular event choice for qualifying for the Boston or New York City Marathon.
The 5K and 10K events are the fastest growing event distances with the improved course entirely on city streets. New in 2016 was the Marathon Team Relay for groups of 4 to 8 members who want to complete the 42 km marathon route.
All participants receive finishers medals, age category awards, post race refreshments and free massage also offered.
Family Run Walk takes place at Riverfront Park on Saturday, October 21st for children 0 to 13 years and their family members. Registration starts at 9:15 am. 1 km and 2 km races start at 10:00 am. All participants receive a race bib, medal, snacks and a book. Athletics NB Run Jump Throw Wheel activities will take place following the race. Race kit pick-up for the Sunday races starts at 11 am at the Legs Fitness Expo located on the mezzanine level of the Delta Beauséjour hotel.
Last year approximately 3,500 runners and walkers participated in four events: full marathon, half marathon, 10k and 5k and Marathon Team Relay. Another 250 school-aged children competed in our Family Run Walk which encourages children at the elementary and middle school levels to make healthy physical activity a part of their daily routine. In 2016 we raised $75,000 for charitable contributions to local literacy projects, bringing our total to date to $674,000. Join us in 2017 for some fun and competition at the largest road racing event in New Brunswick.
