Blue Nose Marathon 2017 brings thousands to downtown Halifax
Over two days, participants will take part in six different events
More than 10,000 people will gather in downtown Halifax this weekend to participate in the 14th Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon.
Over two days, participants will take part in six different events including the 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, full marathon, marathon team relay and youth run.
The event benefits charities through the Scotiabank Charity Challenge, as participants will raise money for 73 registered charities. Last year, the fundraiser brought in more than $597,000 for local charities.
If you can't make it downtown, watch online: CBC Nova Scotia will be live streaming from the start and finish lines throughout the weekend. Get full results here.
