The 42nd Manitoba Marathon, which was to be held on Father's Day and was then rescheduled to October, has been cancelled because of COVID-19.

The Marathon will be going virtual on Thanksgiving weekend.

Participants can register for the virtual race weekend on the Manitoba Marathon website.

They will be able to upload their race results and photos and be entered to win prizes in the Manitoba Marathon 30 Days of Thanks promotion.

The Manitoba Marathon Foundation has been committed to the running community for more than four decades while raising millions of dollars to support people living with intellectual disabilities.
