Together, we can save the Manitoba Marathon. The Manitoba Marathon has been our cities’ marathon for 40+ years and only we can ensure that it is our marathon for another 40. Two years ago, Derek wrote an incredible blog about the history of the Manitoba Marathon, read it here:

Also, November Project and Manitoba Run Crew are going to be hosting a Turkey Trot on Sunday, October 11th:
What: a start/ finish line/ cheer station for participants in the Manitoba Marathon, running any of the distances.
Where: Assiniboine Park Duck Pond
When: Sunday, October 11th, 8am-noon
We will have music, we will have hype, we will have a branded Manitoba Marathon backdrop for super legit, pre and post race photos. We will have water and Nuun for you to refill your bottles with. We will have squares taped out on the ground so that you can make your own aid station with all of the race snacks that the MM will provide to you. Show up at anytime to start, finish or run through on race day. We will not have start times, we will just be in the park, holding court and bringing the hype.
WE WILL ALSO HAVE A LIMITED EDITION, ONE TIME ONLY…….TURKEY TAG.

If you are at all like me, and don’t feel ready to lay down a PR in any event, then organize a relay team! After the workout, I hopped into my family group chat and convinced 3 (working on the 4th and final) family members to join me on a relay team. If you want to organize a relay team, you can reach out to the community at NP YWG Community, or at a workout. Or you can just sign up for any other event and Turkey Trot it out.
Let’s do this. Let’s go for run. Have a great day together in the park. And in the process, we can save the Manitoba Marathon.
