Raising money for cancer care in Niagara will be front and centre when more than 6,000 participants from 32 countries descend on Niagara Falls in October for the 13th Niagara Falls International Marathon.

Proceeds from the annual marathon, to be held this year on Oct. 24, will support the future Walker Family Cancer Centre.

This event is comprised of a marathon, marathon relay (two-person), half marathon, 10K, 5K and 5K team challenge, a Schools Marathon Challenge designed for elementary students, and all events have wheelchair divisions. Participants will be asked to raise pledges or donate in support of our new cancer center. As a bonus, not only will participants play a vital role in supporting healthcare in our community, they will finish their journey at one of Niagara’s natural gems – the brink of the Falls.
