Marathon Baie-des-Chaleurs
|
Carleton-sur-Mer, Quebec
|
Email
|
Pendant 20 ans, Jeannita Caron a organisé un marathon à Charlo, au Nouveau-Brunswick. À l?image de la dame, l?événement était chaleureux et convivial. En juin 2012, alors que Mme Jeannita était aux commandes de la dernière édition de son événement, elle a discuté avec un jeune coureur de Carleton-sur-Mer, Antoine Moses. Naïvement, Antoine a demandé à Mme Jeannita si l?organisation d?un marathon était bien compliquée, ajoutant qu?il verrait bien son père Mario prendre le relais? Il n?en fallait pas plus pour que cette dernière annonce publiquement à ses coureurs que son marathon se tiendrait dès 2013 à Carleton-sur-Mer!
Mario Moses a donc commencé ses démarches dès l?été 2012. Il a rassemblé autour de lui quelques coureurs, novices ou expérimentés, qui avaient envie autant que lui de partager leur parcours avec d?autres! Et tous les membres du comité espèrent être en mesure de recréer l?ambiance enthousiaste de l?événement de Charlo, du côté québécois de la Baie-des-Chaleurs.
La présidence d?honneur de la première édition du marathon Baie-des-Chaleurs a été confiée à Mme Jeannita Caron, pour son dévouement, sa passion contagieuse et sa grande confiance à l?endroit de notre toute jeune équipe. Son soutien nous est des plus précieux!

Fallen 4 Marathon
|
Whitecourt, Alberta
|
Email
|
The communities of Mayerthorpe and Whitecourt were devastated by the deaths of four young RCMP Constables, March 3, 2005. In the midst of the grief and shock the citizens of each community conducted themselves with dignity and respect and showed the world the pride rural communities have in their RCMP.
The Fallen 4 Marathon Society has decided to recognize the ultimate sacrifice that Constables Peter Schiemann, Leo Johnston, Anthony Gordon and Brock Myrol made. The brutality and senselessness of their deaths has been overwhelming for the communities of Mayerthorpe and Whitecourt and the rest of Canada. This was a very sad and painful moment in the history of our country, and we have decided start a memorial marathon/relay in their honor.
The race will start at the Fallen Four Memorial Park in Mayerthorpe and end in Whitecourt.

Bay of Fundy Marathon
|
Lubec-Campobello Marathon
|
207-619-1887 o
|
Start at the easternmost point in the USA, run to the northernmost tip of Campobello Island, Canada, and back to the USA.
A scenic, friendly, community supported marathon in one of the USA and Canada?s quietest corners. Fun for beginners, challenging for experienced runners ? no big hills, just lots of little ones. Half the elevation gain of the Mount Washington road race, but five times Boston.
June temperatures are normally cool with mists from the Bay of Fundy and the Labrador current.
Aid stations are approximately every 2 miles/4 kms (and yes, we?re adding even more this year).
Awards are handcrafted by local artists, as are the marathon finisher?s medals.
Five star pasta supper with locally made deserts and local musicians. We?re also working on a lobster cook-out but no promises yet!
Our goody bags are genuine lobster bait bags. Our shirts are technical wicking Tees ? short sleeved for the 10K, long sleeved for the marathon ? made in Maine from recycled plastic milk jugs.
Marathon runners must have a passport but will be pre-cleared by the border agencies ? who will be cheering you on, not stopping you during the race.

Whether you are an experienced marathon runner or this is your first time, the Banff Marathon will be one of a kind.

Starting and finishing in the beautiful mountain town of Banff, this marathon will take you into the heart of the Rockies to experience the cultural heritage and awe-inspiring nature of Banff National Park. A true destination event in one of Canada?s most scenic locations. Not up for the full marathon? Test yourself in the limited half marathon distance. Connect intimately with the natural and cultural heritage and the majestic scenery of this Canadian Rocky Mountain World Heritage Site.
Participants will begin and finish the course in Banff?s Central Park, completing a loop out past the Vermillion Lakes, along the new Legacy Trail, and up the Bow Valley Parkway to a designated turn-around point.
