What is the Leading Edge RunWild Marathon?

The Leading Edge RunWild Marathon is challenging, competitive and fun event with races designed for every level of runner. Events include the Leading Edge RunWild Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and the WildOnes Kids Marafun.

Created and managed as a non-profit organization, the Leading Edge RunWild Marathon mission is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle while raising money for important charities in the community.

With the inaugural event held in May 2011, the Leading Edge RunWild Marathon proved to be an overwhelming success enjoyed by over 1,500 race participants, 300 volunteers and nearly 2,000 spectators. The event also raised $70,000 for the Zebra Child Protection Centre.

Now in its second year and already ranked a Top 10 event by Canadian Running Magazine, the Leading Edge RunWild Marathon has established itself as one of the region’s premiere road races.
