Queen City Marathon to be held in person in September

Participants in Regina’s largest marathon will be hitting the road again in September.

The Queen City Marathon, which was held virtually in 2020 due to COVID-19, is to be held in person this fall.

“We are extremely excited to bring the running and walking community back together this fall for an in-person GMS Queen City Marathon,” Shawn Weimer, the executive director of Run Regina, said in a media release.

“It has been over 17 months since we have been able to produce a live race and we know that everyone is excited for the opportunity to challenge themselves and see other runners.”

Run Regina — the organization that stages the annual race — is still finalizing details for the 2021 event. However, organizers are planning for a three-day event from Sept. 10-12. Those who still want to run the race virtually can do so through the month of September.
