FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Good Things Come in Threes: New Brunswick's First Ever 2013 Tri-City Run
For anyone seeking a challenge of marathon proportions, and a medal to
prove it, the Fredericton Scotia Bank Marathon, Marathon by the Sea in
Saint John and Moncton's Legs for Literacy/Courir pour lire Marathon have
joined forces for 2013 to offer a unique Tri-City Run. As the first event
of its kind in the region, finishers of all three events can connect their
distinct medals to form one. "As race organizers, we have collaborated on a
medal design for each of our respective events," says Mike Doyle of
Marathon by the Sea, "Once assembled, it becomes "The Tri-City Medallion",
marking the triple achievement."
Marie Wilson, Race Director for Moncton's event says, "This is a chance for
runners and walkers of all levels to take the challenge - compete in any
one event in all three of New Brunswick's premier events and collect the
three parts of the medallion." The Fredericton, Saint John and Moncton
events offer various distances to appeal to everyone from the new runner or
walker to the experienced marathoner. "The timing of the events couldn't
be better," says Paul Lavoie of Fredericton's Scotiabank Marathon," The
May, August and October events allow runners to train for and recover from
one event before the next training begins.
Consider one of the following tempting combinations:
-"The Climb" (10 km in Fredericton on May 12th, Half Marathon in Saint
John on Aug 11th), and the Full Marathon, in Moncton on Oct 27th),
-"The Recovery" (A half or full marathon in Fredericton, a 10k in Saint
John and the 5k in Moncton)
-The "Speedster's Personal Best Challenge" (A 10 K or Half Marathon at
each of the three events aiming for a personal best each time),
-"Marathon Extreme" for the true distance runner whose goal is to complete
three marathons in 168 days
-"Make your own combo"; any combination of distances in each of the three
cities
To be part of this great initiative, participants should begin by
registering and training for a distance at the Fredericton race to be held
on May 12, following that, Marathon by the Sea in Saint John is on August
11, and the final event is Moncton's Legs for Literacy/Courir pour lire on
October 27. Complete the three events, get the three medals, and join them
together to form a mega-medal: New Brunswick's Tri-City Medallion!
