Job details

Our marathon would be part of a weekend of events promoting and celebrating healthy living and active lifestyles. As well, we would encourage everyone in our community and beyond to get involved as a volunteer, sponsor, spectator, or participant, be it as a runner, walker, or Nordic walker.Now more than 20 years later, the Blue Nose Marathon continues to be the signature event of the 0rganization occurring on Victoria weekend each year.
