Event Distances: 42.2km, 21.1k, 10.55k
Although 205 Marathons is classified as a virtual event, runners are to follow a physical route connecting Canada between Tofino, BC and St. John’s, NL. Therefore the event caters to runners at diverse geographies and relies on cross-Canada participation to physically connect the country. Starting on May 17th, 2021, two marathons will be run each day until Canada has been crossed, from the West to the East. Each leg of the route will be run by either an individual or a relay team of runners/athletes who will be raising money for one (or more!) of the five represented charities. Marathon legs can further be broken down and run as half or quarter marathons. There will further be a large social media effort to share the stories and pictures of the runners who are involved. Although many of us will never physically meet, we can unite in this run with a shared sense of purpose.
