The Blue Nose Marathon is a charity road marathon that has been held each spring in Halifax since 2004.

This marathon is a standard length at Шаблон:Convert. Since its inception, abbreviated runs are also available including a youth run (2k and 4k), 5k, 10k, and Шаблон:Convert 1/2 marathon, each sponsored by different local sponsors.[1]

History

The marathon was first held in 2004.

In 2005, despite unexpected heavy rain and strong winds, officials were able to reroute the course to avoid dangerous areas, such as a bridge crossing and flooded areas, and started the race with only a one-hour delay.[2]

The 2020 in-person edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3]
