Saskatchewan Marathon - Saskatoon, May 31, 2026
The Saskatchewan Marathon is organized by the Saskatoon Road Runners Association and takes place in Saskatoon on May 31, 2026. Race day is at Diefenbaker Park, with the race expo and kit pick-up held the day before at Prairieland Park.
The event includes multiple race formats:
- 42.2 km full marathon
- Half marathon
- 2.2 km MaraFun final
- 2.2 km Family Focus EyeCare
Online registration closes on May 28 at midnight. A no-shirt registration option is available; it includes the same items except the New Balance technical t-shirt. Registrations completed by May 1 are eligible to have the race bib personalized with the runner's first name. Race kits are available for pick-up on May 30 at Prairieland Park. Entry fees are non-refundable and registrations cannot be transferred to another person.
Walking entries are offered for every distance except the full marathon. Participants who enter a walking event must walk the entire course and are scored in separate walking categories; walkers start at the back of the field. The event uses rolling road closures and has time-based course restrictions with mandatory timing checkpoints and an enforced cut-off at approximately kilometre 17; participants who do not meet that checkpoint will be redirected to the half marathon. Continuing beyond the cut-off may mean water stations, traffic control, medical support, and signage are no longer available.
The MaraFun program is a 6- or 10-week youth training program for school-aged children that culminates in a 2.2 km finish on race day; participants receive a MaraFun t-shirt and medal. The Family Focus EyeCare 2.2 km lets family members run together with at least one adult aged 18 or older. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
