Home Pix of the Trade Marathon milestone

The 100,000th marathoner was celebrated at this year’s BMO Vancouver Marathon. With a history that dates back to 1972, Vancouver’s only marathon welcomed its 100,000th marathon finisher on May 7. To celebrate this milestone, event organizers have teamed up with Air France to award the 100,000th finisher with a round-trip flight for two to Paris and two entries to the Paris Marathon, courtesy of Air France. “We are looking forward to welcoming the 100,000th finisher (and a guest) on board Air France to enjoy an effortless 9,700-km journey before taking on their passion in the streets of Paris, a setting as unique as Vancouver is for running enthusiasts,” said Jean-Noel Rault, vice-president and general manager, Air France-KLM Canada.
