Saskatchewan Marathon
The Saskatchewan Marathon is an annual event organized by the Saskatoon Road Runners Association. The races take place in Saskatoon, featuring routes that utilize the Meewasin Trail network throughout the Meewasin Valley. The event offers a variety of distances:
- 42.2 km (Full Marathon)
- 21.1 km (Half Marathon)
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2.2 km (Family Focus Eyecare race)
- MaraFun (A training program for children aged 6 to 12)
Separate categories are available for runners and walkers for most distances, though the 42.2 km distance is restricted to running only. Participants entering the walking events must walk the entire time without running.
The full marathon has a 6-hour time limit based on a rolling course closure system. Mandatory timing checkpoints are enforced; specifically, participants must reach the 17 km mark by a designated time or they will be redirected to finish the half marathon course to allow for road reopenings.
Registered participants receive a commemorative medal, a technical fabric t-shirt, and a personalized race bib if registered by May 1. A Race Expo and package pick-up are held the day before the event at Prairieland Park, featuring local fitness and wellness exhibitors.
