About the race
Manitoba Marathon is a multi-event race weekend based at the University of Manitoba with the Start and Finish areas located in Princess Auto Stadium in south Winnipeg. The weekend attracts nearly 15,000 runners and includes a range of events and community programs, with official Boston Marathon qualifying status.
Events include:
- Full Marathon
- Half Marathon
- Marathon Relay
- 10 km
- 5 km Super Run
- Mini & Mighty Mites
Race kits are distributed at a two-day Fit Expo; race day package pick up is available only to participants who purchased the race day pick up add-on. The Start area uses coloured flags and corrals; clothing drop-off is in the Pinnacle Room inside Princess Auto Stadium and clothing bags should be marked with the runner's bib number. All events finish on the stadium field level with designated recovery, medical, and family meet areas.
Race operations and rules: only registered participants wearing assigned bibs are allowed on course; timing uses chip bibs and relay teams use a timing belt. Transfers are permitted before the race through the online process or at the Fit Expo. Participants must run the full distance and may not cut the course. Bicycles, roller skates, pets, and baby strollers are restricted on specific courses; baby strollers and joggers are allowed only in the 5 km Super Run. Portable headphones are discouraged and prohibited for elite athletes. The course closes at a pace of 14 minutes per mile; a course-closing vehicle and shuttle are used to manage participants who fall behind and those shuttleed will not receive an official time.
Manitoba Marathon runs fundraising and inclusion programs, including a partnership with United Way Winnipeg and adaptive-athlete opportunities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
