Thanks to our Green Avengers for joining us at the 2023 Blue Nose Marathon!
About the Blue Nose Marathon
The Blue Nose Marathon is an annual, weekend-long event that promotes and celebrates healthy living and active lifestyles and welcomes all ages, abilities and fitness levels. This year, it is happening May 19-May 21, 2023.
The list of events includes a number of different race distances that you can register for:
- Youth Run (2KM or 4KM)
- 5KM
- 10KM
- Half Marathon
- Full Marathon
For each distance, you have the choice to register as either a runner or walker. There is also an option to register and participate virtually! If you're participating in-person, the start and finish lines are both in Downtown Halifax. If you're participating virtually, you can race from wherever you are in the world!
The Giv’er Charity Challenge
The Giv’er Charity Challenge is a unique fundraising program available at the Blue Nose Marathon, where participants who are interested in participating in events can make their run/wheel/walk more meaningful by raising funds for one of their list of official charities. The Ecology Action Centre (EAC) has a team in the challenge - the Green Avengers - and we need your help to reach our target!
