Wind Impact on Race Day
Wind at 23 km/h can affect your marathon pace by 5-15 seconds per kilometer. Headwinds slow you down exponentially — a 20 km/h wind costs more than twice a 10 km/h wind.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the 2026 Manitoba Marathon?
The 2026 Manitoba Marathon is on Sunday, Jun 21, 2026 - Father's Day - with the full marathon gun start at 7:00 AM CDT and wheelchair athletes off at 6:55 AM. It is staged at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg and finishes inside Princess Auto Stadium.
Is the Manitoba Marathon a Boston qualifier?
Yes. The course is an Athletics Canada-certified road label course and an official Boston Qualifier. With only about 8 metres of elevation change it is one of Canada's flattest marathons - roughly 6-7% of finishers post BQ times in a typical year. Check your target with our Boston qualifying calculator.
How flat is the course and what is the time limit?
The route is famously flat - about 8 metres (25 feet) separating the high and low points across a road loop. The course time limit is 6 hours: starting at 7:00 AM, all participants must finish by 1:00 PM, with a checkpoint cutoff at 14 min/mile pace. Model your splits with our pace calculator.
How do I register and what does it cost?
Registration is open online through Race Roster. The full marathon uses four pricing tiers that step up as each block fills, so entering early is cheaper - a representative full-marathon entry runs about CAD 125. There is no lottery or qualifying time required to enter.
Where does the Manitoba Marathon start and finish?
The race starts and finishes at the University of Manitoba in south Winnipeg, with the road loop touching the Pembina Highway corridor and quiet residential and riverside streets. The signature finish is on the CFL turf inside Princess Auto Stadium - a stadium finish few mid-size marathons offer.
What is the weather like in mid-June in Winnipeg?
Mid-June mornings in Winnipeg are usually mild, around 12-18C at the 7:00 AM start, warming into the low 20s by late morning. The prairie course is open and exposed, so sun and a light wind are common. Predict a realistic finish with our finish time calculator.
