Get Ready for the 46th Annual Scotiabank Calgary Marathon

Voted the 2009 Best Road Race in Alberta, the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon is a challenging, competitive and fun event with a race designed for everyone of any level. There is a full marathon, half-marathon, 10 km, 5 km family walk or run and kids' marathon.

With a two-day Fitness Expo, the new Scotiabank Group Charity Challenge and race day festivities, the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon is more than a race - it is a spirited community event that celebrates sportsmanship, healthy lifestyles and community participation. In 2009 over 8,500 participants took to the streets and close to $130,000 was raised for charity.
