Blue Nose Marathon

The Blue Nose Marathon (often branded as the Emera Blue Nose Marathon) is a big, community-style road race weekend in Halifax and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, built to feel more like a festival than a single race. It’s typically held around the Victoria Day long weekend and centers on a mix of marquee distances and β€œbring-your-friends” options that make it approachable whether you’re chasing a PR or just there for the vibes.
