Not a runner but interested in joining the Calgary Marathon’s 60th-anniversary festivities? Join us!

The Calgary marathon plays an important role in MitoCanada’s origin story. The first organized event that brought a large group of MitoCanada supporters together, the Calgary Marathon has welcomed our running ambassadors and set the stage for MitoCanada in setting 13 Guinness World Records (GWR) running attempts and achievements. MitoCanada has used GWRs to capture the public’s attention, raise awareness, and put mitochondrial disease on the map. This year is no exception!

To commemorate the Calgary Marathon’s 60th year anniversary, MitoCanada’s running ambassadors are ready to set a 14th GWR (running), led by MitoCanada’s co-founder and superstar Blaine Penny. The goal is to raise $60,000 for MitoCanada and set a GWR for the Fastest Half Marathon by a Linked Team. The current record is 1:26 hrs, and the MitoCanada team will attempt a 1:19 with a group of 15+ runners linked together.

Help fuel our running ambassador’s GWR attempt by making a donation, volunteering, and sharing the attempt on your social media!
