The Overlander Sports Marathon, Half-Marathon and 10km run will be held on Sunday , August 18, 2019. The marathon was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek messenger Pheidippides, sent to relay the news of the victory at the Battle of Marathon. We do our best to honour his memory.
Registration is now open at zone4.ca (search for Yellowknife).
Many years ago, when Yellowknife was still a young lawless town, a group of prospectors had a drunken argument about whether Latham Island could be canoed in under 20 minutes. This Saturday, August 17, we’ll see who was right.
The Yellowknife Mutlisport Club and the Samba K’e Paddling Club present the Latham Island Paddle Race. Starting at the the Latham Island Causeway at 1:30 p.m. (sign in starts at 1PM). Categories include canoe and kayak singles and doubles, and this year we also have a paddleboard category.
Registration is now open at zone4.ca (search for “Latham”).
Lifejackets required (that includes you paddleboarders!). Questions? Email sombakepaddling@gmail.com
