Join us for the
Thirteenth Annual CSC Gopher Attack
This boutique marathon, the fastest marathon course in Western Canada, is the earliest of the three major Saskatchewan marathons. It comprises two distances, marathon and half marathon. Cash prizes are offered for male and female finishers, three deep, in each distance. The event is a fund raiser for the MS Society of Canada.
The flat, fast course, laid out through the scenic Wascana Park and University of Regina campus, is a 21.1 km Loop certified by Athletics Canada/Run Canada as accurate according to standards of the Road Running Technical Council. The marathon competitors who meet the Boston qualifying times will be eligible to register for Boston in the following year. This fast, flat course is known for the high percentage of finishers who qualify for Boston.
The start is in the Wascana Centre Authority parking lot, 2900 Wascana Drive, Regina, Saskatchewan.
