Big news, running fam! The 2025 Servus Calgary Marathon is stepping up its game and turning race weekend into a full-on two-day festival. Yup, after a legendary 60th anniversary last year, the oldest marathon in Canada is giving us even MORE reasons to lace up, cheer loud, and soak up those running vibes.
So, What’s the Deal?
The marathon’s been crushing it with record-breaking attendance, and now it’s expanding to two action-packed days to make sure everyone gets the best experience possible. Think bigger crowds (in the best way), smoother routes, and enough good energy to keep you buzzing all weekend long.
