(Fort McMurray, AB, April 13, 2023) – The Inter Pipeline Fort McMurray Marathon Organizing Committee is delighted to welcome Inter Pipeline as the proud presenting partner of the event. Inter Pipeline, a long term marathon partner and community supporter, has come on board as the title sponsor as the event returns to the trails and streets of Fort McMurray in September, 2023.
“Inter Pipeline is proud to be the presenting partner for the Fort McMurray Marathon after being a longstanding supporter of the event,” said Breanne Oliver, Vice President, People & Stakeholder Relations. “The Wood Buffalo Region is an important community to Inter Pipeline and charitable events like the Fort McMurray Marathon perfectly align with our iCare community investment program’s focus on wellness and cultivating a stronger connection with our communities. We look forward to welcoming all participants at the race.”
For over a decade, runners from Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo and beyond have participated in the annual marathon at the end of September. In 2022, the marathon introduced the “Run for a Reason” program, which allows local registered charitable organizations to sign up as fundraising beneficiaries while marathon participants have the opportunity to raise funds for their favourite registered charity. Run for a Reason is also returning in 2023 to build on the success seen in the inaugural year.
“We are so excited to welcome Inter Pipeline as the presenting partner on the marathon,” said Graig Walsh, Regional Recreation Corporation of Wood Buffalo Chief Executive Officer. “The Inter Pipeline Fort McMurray Marathon has evolved from the original half marathon format to a full marathon event with a charitable component, while still maintaining the fun, family-friendly atmosphere where individual achievements are pursued and celebrated.”
The 2023 Inter Pipeline Fort McMurray Marathon will take place on Sunday, September 24 at MacDonald Island Park. Participants will have the opportunity to register in the CNOOC 42.2km, Servus Credit Union 21.1km, Higher Health 10km, Supplement King 5km and SMS Equipment 3km distances. Back again in 2023 is the ever-popular CEDA Kid’s Fun Run which allows young runners to enjoy short runs on the same course as the marathon participants.
Early bird registration for the 2023 Inter Pipeline Fort McMurray Marathon will begin on May 2, 2023.
