The Johnny Miles Race Event Weekend is one of Atlantic Canada's premiere running events, named in honour of one of Canada's greatest runners of all time - Johnny Miles. Held each summer in New Glasgow, the Johnny Miles Marathon is a qualifying event for the Boston Marathon - an event won twice by Johnny Miles - 1926 and 1929. The late Dr. John Miles Williston, named after the great marathon runner, was a well known physician and community leader of New Glasgow, who began the New Glasgow event in 1975 and established a legacy that has grown over the years beyond a single Marathon Race into fun-filled weekend for all to enjoy. The event offers a prestigious running competition that inspires personal bests and a recreational event that engages the whole community. Both competitive and recreational runners enjoy the support of hundreds of spectators who gather to cheer on the participants. The community supports the event at every level, from amazing volunteers and outstanding corporate support to families and friends challenging and supporting each other achieve a healthier lifestyle.
