From Wellington to Picton Ontario

This 42.2 km race, over relatively flat terrain, will take runners past three lakes and through three villages while surrounding them with the beautiful autumn colours of Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. The The County Marathon is embraced by the entire community and together with the 500 volunteers, The County Marathon is recognized as the largest community event.

The Marathon continues to be proud of its on-going status as a Boston Qualifier. Please note that runners and wheeled athletes are all welcome! However, for awards purposes we now only have one Full Marathon Category.
