We are thrilled and excited to re-launch the KVMarathon for 2020. After spanning 2004-2013 the race took a hiatus before John Kelley handed the reins of the race over to us at Fundy Sports & Tourism.
On Thursday 17 September at 6.00pm we will be closing registration for the KV Marathon & Half. We have been able to extend our deadline for race t-shirts to the same date so everyone registering prior to this date will be guaranteed a Finishers T-shirt. After this date due to Covid restrictions we will be unable to accept any new registrations.
Please Note - the last date to register to guarantee a Finishers T-shirt is 01 September 2020.
Latest News - Everyone racing with us will receive a Free 3 Day Pass* to the 3 YMCA locations in Greater Saint John. *if you have been a member in the past 12 months then unfortunately you cannot use this and this option does not include the Virtual Marathon.
Race day will comprise a full Marathon plus a Half Marathon. The Marathon will also include a 2 person relay and a 4 person relay.

Marathon Relay - 4 Person Relay Only Closed
Online registration closed-
Our Marathon Relay is back for 2020 for teams of 4 people who can choose to run the full marathon as a team. This year with the whole Covid issues we will be doing the relay teams in a slightly different way. There will be one main Aid Station at the half way point of the race which will be a relay exchange point but as for the other 2 relay points you can do this at any point on the course that you choose as long as you deem it safe to do so. The idea is that you have to get your bib number from the start of the marathon to the end of the marathon between the 4 runners. Main Relay Exchange Point – Old Leisure Time RV facility on Rte 100 – Hampton Road. Each Relay runner will receive a Finishers medal and official Race shirt if ordered by the final order date. Please note - as of 04 September - we have had to place our order for T-shirts so we cannot guarantee your shirt size.
