  5 Stars from 1 Reviews

Description

The mostly loop Manitoba Marathon course is extremely flat with only about 25 feet (7.5m) separating the high and low points of the course.

The very flat and fast course presents great opportunities for PRs and Boston Qualifying times (BQs).

Nate's review of 2017 Manitoba Marathon.   

5 / 5 Stars

Review

The course for 2017 started and ended in the Winnipeg Canadian Football League stadium. They allow you to go inside before the race, where you can use the bathrooms and stay out of the wind and rain. (in 2017 it was raining a little before and during the first few miles of the race.) Very well organized and great medical staff and facilities in the stadium after the race.


Race Tips

It's a smaller race so there are no issues with crowding, but large enough to have good water stops. The finisher shirt was a little disappointing last year, as it only had some lettering on the lower hip area of the shirt. They should proudly display their marathon logo in the front like most marathons! The second half of the course is tree lined...great for shade but can play tricks on your real time GPS, so be prepared to wear a pace band and watch the mile markers, or have a calibrated foot pod to help. In 2017, I was going to run Grandma's Marathon, but because of unusual weather patterns, this race was going to be 15-20 degrees cooler than Grandma's, so I switched, as this marathon allows you to sign up as late as the Wednesday before the race online, possibly even the day before at the expo. It was a good choice, as this course if flatter than Grandma's. It's all about the weather, and this race is inexpensive enough to be a late minute alternative, if you have a passport! The course is flat, but I didn't think it was so flat that it caused issues, it has a few very small rolling hills to break it up a little.
