    Avid runners Roderick Allister McCulloch and Gerald Walsh founded the Blue Nose Marathon in 2004 to raise money for local charities and to encourage an active lifestyle. The marathon is now the best-known running event in the Maritimes, attracting over 13 000 participants in 2014. It has also evolved into an entire weekend of festivities, including a wellness expo, 5- and 10-kilometre runs, a team relay and a youth run.
