Uniformed Services Run - Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Marathon Weekend
The Uniformed Services Run is a provincial marathon weekend hosted by Athletics NorthEAST Running Club and NLAA accredited. The event is scheduled for the weekend of September 12 and 13, 2026. Registration opens April 1 and closes September 10; the "Shirt in Kit" deadline is July 26. Entry fees vary by distance and discounts are available for uniformed service members.
Distances offered include:
- Marathon
- Half-marathon
- Marathon relay
- Quidi Vidi Brewery 10k
- 5k
- 3k family run
- 1k kids run
- Fun runs (free)
A new course for 2026 was introduced to improve safety and simplify setup and marshalling. The revised route lowers overall elevation gain, increases the distance in the park by 50 percent, adds a 5k event, and provides enhanced opportunities for supporters to follow runners. Weekend features include kit pickup, family fun runs, finisher medals, shirt options, and an awards reception.
All event proceeds are donated to the charity chosen by the previous year's Battle of the Badges winner. The Canadian Coast Guard was the 2024 winner; their designated charity, Candelighters NL, received over $8,000 from the 2024 event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
