The marathon starts and finishes at the Emera Oval in Halifax and crosses the bridge into the Dartmouth neighbourhoods along the way. Halifax is hilly, so expect climbs and pace accordingly. Marathoners must be 18 or older, and the race counts as an age-group qualifier for the Abbott World Marathon Majors Wanda championships. A half marathon, 10K and 5K run over the same weekend, and you can also double up with the 5K on Saturday. Entry goes through Race Roster.
