Small but well-organized and friendly
The marathon is very small - only about 10 runners this year. Half and 10 km have more runners so there is company early in the race.
Well-organized. Friendly people.
This year's route was just as the organizers warned - hilly and challenging.
Yellowknife and NWT are beautiful to visit. Weather was ideal for running.
