The Valley Harvest Full Marathon will take you on a 42.2KM journey through several towns in the Annapolis Valley during the absolutely breathtaking autumn harvest. Taking you on a picturesque adventure past apple orchards, horse farms and pastoral scenery, through gently rolling terrain, it is a once in a lifetime journey — we invite you to experience it for yourself. The Marathon course is certified and is a Boston Qualifier.
