Woody's RV World Marathon
|
Red Deer, Alberta

The marathon course starts on 55th street, just east of 42 Avenue. It stays on a residential road for 2.4 km and then enters the picturesque paved park trail system at Mackenzie Trails. The marathon then leads to the trail system for the rest of the course, following the Red Deer River, which you will cross four times! Leaving Mackenzie Trails there is one short steep hill out to Heritage Ranch and returns along the north side of the river by Bower Ponds. The second big loop is NE, and around the River Bend Golf Course. The return home is back to the Railway Bridge, and then a short climb up a steep hill at Michener Hill (Red Deer?s own heartbreak hill!). The course races downhill to 55th street and turns right on 42 A Avenue to the finish Line!

Saskatchewan Marathon
|
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
|
|
The first marathon was held in mid-May, 1979. Its timing allowed for the qualifiers in that event three months to ready themselves for the Western Canada Summer Games marathon, held on August 15, 1979. Tradition kept the event in mid-May the following year. For reasons not clear to the editor, the date of the marathon was moved to a fall date the next year and stayed at that time of year until 2003. At that time, competition with the ?other? marathon in Saskatchewan (the Queen City Marathon, also a fall event), necessitated a move of date for the Saskatoon event and it?s been held in late May since. The date for the event was chosen after a careful review by Norm Zepp, of the weather data for May dates. The weather for the late-May date has been favourable three of four years (with only May 28, 2006 being somewhat dismal ? with drizzle, wind and a cool temperature).
