Fallen 4 Marathon
Where:
Mayerthorpe to Whitecourt - Road Race
When:
Saturday, June 02, 2012
The Fallen 4 Marathon Society successfully hosted the Annual Marathon Race from Mayerthorpe to Whitecourt, Alberta with 1200 runners participating in 2011. The event welcomes runners from international destinations, across Canada and all over Alberta. This is an outstanding achievement, only possible through the hard work and dedication of our sponsors and volunteers. We have already commenced preparations and planning for the 2012 Marathon event on June 2.
Our goal this year is to expand participation to 1500 runners. As well John Stanton, a running icon, will be returning for a second year to lead the 5km run.
The Fallen 4 Marathon is an event that unites the neighboring communities of Mayerthorpe and Whitecourt in remembrance of the tragic event that took the lives of four local RCMP.
It also promotes the principles of healthy living and fosters a sense of community for our residents. 2011 was an incredible year and we were able to provide donations totaling $31,000 to 17 local non-profit organizations. Over the past three years the Fallen 4 Marathon Society has donated $93,500 back to the communities.
