The Running Room is an Alberta company, which originated in 1984 out of founder John Stanton's wish to purchase quality running shoes from someone knowledgeable about the sport. John, who began running in 1981, found the quality of service in large sporting goods stores was very poor and the staff - usually on a commission basis - were anxious to sell the most expensive rather than the most appropriate shoe to customers.
We are proud of the company we keep and salute all of our sponsors and partners alike for their commitment to the excellence of Marathon by the Sea.
Marathon by the Sea is proud of its partnership with Tim Horton’s as the TITLE SPONSOR. This most-senior of all Marathon by the Sea partnerships, Tim Horton's significantly continues to assist and support the strong growth of the events.
The Tim Hortons chain was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario. The chain’s focus on top quality, always fresh product, value, great service and community leadership has allowed it to grow into the largest quick service restaurant chain in Canada specializing in always fresh coffee, baked goods and homestyle lunches.
