Woody’s Marathon goes May 19, registration open
The 24th Woody’s Marathon/Half/10k is quickly approaching and registration remains open for Red Deerians and others to challenge themselves like never before.
The annual event is set for Sunday, May 19, with the runs taking competitors through Red Deer’s beautiful trail system, as per usual.
“Only the start and finish are on city roads. Everything else takes place on our trail system here and, besides our volunteers, that’s what makes the event so spectacular is the beauty from our trail system,” says Curtis Marquart, treasurer.
Marquart is estimating about 1,100 participants across all three races, although he expects most to be running the half-marathon or 10 km option. Online registration closes the night of May 16, but residents can register in-person the following Friday and Saturday at the École Camille J. Lerouge School gym.
