On Saturday, April 11th, 2015, the Elora Road Christian School will hold its annual Marden Marathon. It was started as a way to teach elementary students at the school about “Responsibility, Connectedness, and Giving Back to our Communities.” It’s a wonderful event including a half marathon, 10K and 5K races that raises money for the Groves Community Hospital Foundation.

The Marden Marathon is in partnership with Running Works, Grand River Running, the Running Room and many other local organizations. Since 2011, these organizations and others in the community have come together to raise $38,000 for the Groves Community Hospital Foundation.

The marathon will begin at the Royal Distributing Athletic Performance Centre in Marden, ON at 8:30 on Saturday. For more information visit http://mardenmarathon.ca/.
