Salut à tous ! D'après les résultats de 2024, voici la liste initiale des coureurs que nous invitons au marathon du Nouveau-Brunswick. Ils peuvent courir la distance de leur choix ! Ils recevront une inscription gratuite et une carte essence. Nous ajouterons 5 noms l'année prochaine en fonction de vos commentaires. Nous avons essayé d'inclure quelques coureurs de trail, car la moitié du parcours est en sentier. La domination dans chaque catégorie d'âge est prise en compte. Ils peuvent courir la distance de leur choix, mais nous espérons que certains participeront au marathon pour le prix. Si vous avez d'autres coureurs à suggérer, nous les prendrons en considération. Je ne pense pas que Courtney Dauwalter soit disponible. Les 11 meilleures femmes et une légende locale…
Alright everyone! Based on 2024 results, this is the initial wish list for our Elite Invites for the New Brunswick Marathon Weekend for which they can do any distance! They receive a free entry and a gas card. We will be adding 5 more names in the new year based on feedback. We have tried to sprinkle in some trail runners as the course is half trail. Age group dominance does count. They can do any distance but we are hoping that some will enter the marathon for the prize money. If you can think of other runners that should be on this list, we would certainly consider them. I do not think that Courtney Dauwalter is available. The top 11 women plus local legend......
