Family and friends cheered as runners passed the finish line at The Charlottetown Marathon in the city’s downtown on Sunday, which is the biggest running event on the island and an official Boston Qualifier.
Organizers of the P.E.I. Marathon have announced the route for this year. The double loop in downtown Charlottetown will be used again after replacing the regular route along the north shore that was damaged by post-tropical storm Fiona.
Downed power lines, massive fallen trees and power outages in parts of Charlottetown are presenting a tricky situation for event organizers who have decided they will proceed despite post-tropical storm Fiona.
