This innovative marathon will feature ‘Cultural Music Miles’ with live colourful music performances highlighting each mile along the marathon route. World music performers and cultural organizations will showcase their art, music, costumes, food and beverage to present our incredible spirit and celebrate Surrey’s multicultural heritage.

The Weekend Expo running September 28-30 will see an excellent array of fitness exhibitors and health products including interactive games and activities, in addition to a fully programmed stage with music and guest speakers.

The three-day festival site at Central City Plaza will present cultural foods, live music and active lifestyle vendors. The 5K Concert Run will culminate with a Finish Line Concert featuring recording artists to be announced later this year.

The marathon course will travel through North Surrey along a route from 108 Avenue, down 132nd Street to 88th Avenue, through Bear Creek Park and Green Timbers Park and returning along Fraser Highway.
