The KVC Marathon Mission from
original founder John Kelley

One of the pinnacles of the Olympics is The Marathon. In Canada we have many Olympians in various sports but we don't compete well in The Marathon. Most Canadians will probably agree that this should not be. The Kennebecasis Valley Challenge Marathon strives to provide a venue that cultivates the marathon to help meet the goals of amateur athletes and recreational runners alike. We believe we have one of the best marathon courses* in the country and we have a great community and a relay to support our marathoners. Our course record of 2:32:42 speaks of our local talent but it is also a call for others to meet the challenge. We have committed ourselves to supporting anyone who wishes to challenge our course and we're sure if they do, it will be one more step towards reaching a personal goal and in turn giving The Marathon its due. *Point to point course along the beautiful Kennebecasis River providing a good ratio of Boston qualifiers and PB's. 

The KVC Relay Mission from
torch bearer Alex Coffin

To ensure that others get to share in the energy from our marathon competitors, we have a relay component that follows the same exact course in four sections. Since we have a very fast first half, we also allow for a half relay team where both members compete in the first two sections and have their results count in the individual half marathon results as well.

Latest News

This year the Bikaru will be on May 27. This is 1 week before the Moncton Duathlon so now you can do both. The other change is a $7.00 fee to cover the cost of hiring some students to look after the bikes and kayaks and also to more accurately (we hope) get the times. The run will be 8 km around Hampton starting and finishing at the courthouse. The bike and kayak would be the same as last year. Check the BIkaru link above for more details!!
