After a five-year hiatus, one of the premier running events of the year is making a return — The Marathon Project is back this weekend.
Sunday's race will mark the first since 2020, when the event was staged amid the height of the pandemic. The professional racing event is raising the stakes this time, aiming to deliver a full-scale experience for both athletes and fans alike.
Fans should look out for a handful of North America's fastest distance runners on the course, including Olympic medalist Paul Chelimo and 2023 Canadian national champion Thomas Broatch in the men's field, and Kellyn Taylor and Paige Wood in the women's.
