Home to the most beautiful run on the planet, The Banff Marathon will be taking place on June 18, 2023. With the marathon, half marathon, 10k, and the Pursuit Free Kids Run distances, Banff welcomes runners from all over the world.

Starting in the town, runners will make their way through the beautiful Banff National Park accompanied by some incredible views, historical stages, and maybe some wildlife too. An out-and-back route, runners finish back along the Bow River to the loud, cheering crowds in the picturesque Central Park back in Banff.
