    Why It's BQ-Friendly

    Rolling hills dominate the 26.2-mile course, making it essential to prepare for undulations rather than a flat trajectory.

    The race takes place in mid-October, when temperatures are typically cooler, though variable, potentially impacting race day strategies.

    About This Race

    This marathon features rolling hills that can be deceptively challenging, especially if you're gunning for a BQ. Runners often describe the course as scenic, weaving through Charlottetown's charming streets and coastal views.

    Race Strategy

    Focus on maintaining a steady effort rather than a specific pace due to the rolling terrain. Tackle hills by easing off your pace slightly on the ascents and pushing on the descents to capitalize on the changes in elevation.
