Latest News - Marathon Training

The year 2012 marks the 30th anniversary of the Honolulu Marathon Training Program.

The program was the first of its kind in Calgary in 1982 and was developed by a team of professors in the Faculty of Physical Education interested in helping people to run their first marathon. Since that time, the University has graduated an estimated 1500 first-time marathoners, many of whom ran in Honolulu, Hawaii for their inaugural event.
