Popsicle Run

It’s time to run like you’re a kid again…

Before chip-timing technology, races used a popsicle stick method, which, for those who are unfamiliar, was a manual form of timing runners whereby each finisher was handed a popsicle stick as they finished. The numbered popsicle stick indicated the finishing place and finishing times were recorded manually. Each stick had to then be matched up with the corresponding finishing time for that placement. Race Directors had it rough!

As an homage to more simple times and a flashback to our roots, the team at Blue Nose Marathon brings you the Popsicle Run.

The Blue Nose Marathon Society would like to acknowledge that the Emera Blue Nose Marathon is taking place in Mi’kma’ki, the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. The Treaties in this territory, agreed to in the 1700s, are based upon Peace and Friendship between the Mi’kmaq and the British Crown. Together, we will be running and walking in Mi’kma’ki. We are all Treaty people.
