Presented in Partnership with County Kids Club

After three years of strong results, and a maturing operating model, the County Marathon is now in a strong position to reinstate cash prizes for the top male and female finishers in both the Full and Half Marathon. This reinforces the event’s continued growth and its commitment to attracting elite Canadian runners and elevating competitive performance.

A total of $3,600 will be awarded across both race categories. Winners of the Relay Marathon and 5K will receive prizes from On Running and gifts from local sponsors, including Prince Edward County wineries.

“The return of cash prizes and the addition of the Kids 1K Run reflect our commitment to growing the event while keeping it deeply rooted in community,” said Brian McLean, President of Achilles Canada and Race Director of the County Marathon. “We’re excited to welcome elite runners, families, and first‑time participants to a weekend that celebrates movement, pride, and the best of Prince Edward County.”
