Thunder Bay Marathon - Miles with the Giant
March 2014

Dear ,

After a relentless winter, we couldn't be happier to welcome spring and a new running season! Spring is the time to get back into the swing of things and to get those early bird registration prices!

Be sure to mark your calendar for the 5th annual Miles with the Giant Race Weekend on Sunday, September 21st. Event registration opens this Friday, March 21st. For full details on early bird registration including race choices and pricing, visit www.thunderbaymarathon.com

We would also like to send a special "thank you" to some of the amazing sponsors who are supporting us again this year: Intercity Industrial Supply, Bearskin Airlines, the Valhalla Inn, and Polar Mechanical.

We are all very excited to make the 5th annual Miles with the Giant our biggest event yet and hope that you will join us as a participant, sponsor or volunteer.

Run for a Reason

Whether on your own or as part of a team, choose your reason and get ready to run, jog or walk the 2014 Miles with the Giant in support of Camp Quality Northwestern Ontario or Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation.

Running for a reason and making a difference in our community makes going the extra mile that much more rewarding. If you want to run for a reason, just choose one of our charities when you register online.

Call for Volunteers

Hundreds of volunteers are needed to help on race weekend. If you have some spare time and want to be part of an exciting and growing event in our community, please contact Marianne at volunteer@thunderbaymarathon.com or call 807-625-2149 for details.

Miles with the Giant can provide youth with letters of certification of their involvement to apply towards education credit requirements.

Miles with the Giant will donate funds to any Not-for-Profit organization or sports' team who can provide a minimum of ten, 18+ volunteers to act as road marshals on race day. We want to work in partnership with organizations throughout the city to improve the event for Thunder Bay while supporting the projects and goals of various organizations in the community.

We encourage dressing up in your uniforms, painting your face, playing music, bringing your banner and having fun while cheering on the participants and promoting your own organization! It is great exposure for your organization and a quick and exciting way to make some extra funds for your own fundraising initiatives.
