Running matters. Whether it's your first time at the starting line or you're a seasoned racer, the Saskatchewan Marathon helps you use your feet to reach your goal.
About the event
The Saskatchewan Marathon started with just the 26.2 mile distance. Now there are six races: Kids' MaraFun, 2.2K, 5K, 10K, half-marathon and full marathon. The half-marathon is like running from Saskatoon to Warman, and the full marathon is like running from Yorkton to Melville.
It's a first-class event. It's been a Boston qualifier for years and participants enjoy the accuracy and convenience of race chip timing.
- The women's record for the Sask Marathon is held by Christine Bant – 2023 – 2:54:05.
- The men's Sask Marathon record is held by David Mutai – 2019 – 2:22:09.
What's new in 2025?
Bringing new energy to their May is Marathon Month campaign, that has been paused since 2020 - they're dedicating their social media and newsletters to highlighting running and walking activities, promotions, and community connections throughout the month.
The Saskatchewan Marathon is also partnering with the 30 Birds Foundation an organization that rebuilds pathways for Aghan girls to learn, lead and live freely. Saskatoon is the most prominent cities for this Foundation due to the 300 Afghan at-risk schoolgirls, family members, and girls' education activists that now call Saskatoon home. They are planning a free screening of the documentary called "The Secret Marathon" during the month of May. Keep an eye on their official website for more details..
Their 2025 theme pays tribute to Saskatchewan's rich agricultural heritage with a t-shirt and medal designed to reflect that. The design is a proud celebration of our culture, and the vital role agriculture plays in our province.
