Race Info
The Blue Nose Full Marathon begins and ends at the Emera Oval, but not before crossing the bridge and showcasing some of the beautiful neighbourhoods of Dartmouth. Halifax has gained a reputation for being a little “hill-y” but it’s nothing you can’t handle (we’re sure of it!). You can also find comfort in knowing that the whole city will be cheering you on from the sidelines. Source
