⚠️ IMPORTANT RACE DAY UPDATE

After closely monitoring the latest weather forecasts, Race Officials have adjusted tomorrow's race schedule to allow additional time for the overnight weather system to move through the area.

🕣 8:15 AM – Half Marathon
🕣 8:30 AM – 10K

🚗 All vehicle traffic must be on Sherose Island by 8:00 AM to ensure the roadway remains clear while all races are starting.

Current forecasts continue to call for heavy rain overnight, with the possibility of strong winds, lingering rain, and even thunderstorms into the morning.

⛈️ If thunderstorms are occurring when you arrive, please remain inside the Recreation Complex and await further instructions from Race Officials. Participant safety will always be our top priority, and races will not begin while lightning is present.

Please be aware that, depending on wind conditions, some event infrastructure such as start/finish gantries, tents, and other temporary structures may need to be removed or modified for safety reasons. While the event may look a little different than originally planned, our team is committed to providing the best race experience possible under the conditions.

👟 We also ask everyone to:

Keep an eye on your email and our social media channels for any overnight updates.
Dress appropriately for the weather.
Use extra caution around the venue and on the course, as puddling and slippery conditions are expected.

We appreciate everyone's patience, understanding, and cooperation. Our entire team is looking forward to welcoming you to the 55th Annual Nova Scotia Marathon, and we're committed to delivering a safe and memorable race day.

See you in the morning! 🏅🌊
