SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon 2025

Welcome to SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon, a festival of running held in the heart of Northern Ontario. From a full Marathon to a spirited 5K, plus a family-friendly Fun-Run and the collaborative Team Relay, there’s a distance and format for every pace. Set against Sudbury’s vibrant downtown backdrop, this event brings together seasoned racers and first‑time joggers in a supportive atmosphere that celebrates fitness, fun, and local pride.

​

Marking its 20th anniversary in 2025, SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon is more than a race—it’s a community gathering powered by volunteers, live spectators, and enthusiastic neighbours. Fundraising efforts support the Health Sciences North Foundation’s cancer care initiatives, while finishers earn commemorative medals and lifelong memories. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or enjoying a leisurely stroll, you’ll find camaraderie, scenic streets, and a lively post‑race festival waiting for you in Sudbury.

The certified Boston‑qualifying road course winds through Sudbury’s flat to rolling streets, showcasing the downtown core, New Sudbury and Minnow Lake neighbourhoods. Road/pavement surface with a few gentle hills offers both fast sections and scenic views. An expo and bib pickup take place the day before in the heart of downtown, ensuring seamless race‑day logistics. On‑course support includes volunteer‑staffed water and sports drink stations every two kilometres, creating a friendly and well‑organized atmosphere.
