Edmonton Marathon
Edmonton Marathon is a flat marathon in Edmonton, Canada, held each August. A flat, fast course through the North Saskatchewan river valley and city streets — August warmth late in the race is the main test. Mid-August starts around 10C but can reach the low 20s before the last finishers are home. On a course as flat as Edmonton Marathon, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
