The Saskatchewan Marathon, with support from Craven S.P.O.R.T. Services, is proud to present the 2012 Marafun!

The 2012 Marafun is a program that has been developed by the SRRA in conjunction with the Saskatchewan Marathon. The Marafun will provide the opportunity to approximately 1000 young people (13 and under) to participate in the Saskatchewan marathon in a novel way. Each Marafun participant will run, walk, or wheelchair a minimum of 4 km per week in the weeks leading up to race day (May 27, 2012). They’ll cap off their hard work with a fun 2.2 km run on part of the marathon course on Race Day. Throughout the program there will be opportunities for the participants to learn about an active lifestyle, maintaining a physical activity program to promote health, and the importance of having personal goals. It is truly a unique way for kids to increase their activity levels, nutritional knowledge, and self esteem!
