Marathon Course
Our marathon course allows runners to experience the best of both worlds. The run starts in the heart of downtown London in front of London Life then winds through the University of Western Ontario. Runners enjoy the beautiful park system as well as the downtown core, offering tranquil surroundings within a big city marathon atmosphere. The course has been certified and your time can be used as a Boston Qualifier. Click for Boston qualifying times! There are water
and replacement stations approximately every 3k.  See the course
pictures, descriptions or map & elevation profile for closer details!!

Runners risk disqualification for failing to obey race marshals or police, or straying from the marked course. Bib numbers are monitored for course completion. Bicycle 'pacers' and stereo headphones are not recommended. Only runners on a 6 hour and under finishing pace can be assured of course amenities, medical assistance and an official time (slower participants will be allowed to finish the course).
