A Brief Overview of the Mississauga Half Marathon

 

A graduate of the University of Chicago, where he earned his MHPE (master of health professions education), Minto Jain has served as a real estate broker since 2014. Minto Jain enjoys running and has run the Mississauga Half Marathon three times.

Created in 2004, the Mississauga Marathon is held each year in Ontario. A participant in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge, the marathon organization has raised more than $700,000 for 60 charities across the country.

Dedicated to becoming the top running event in Canada, the Mississauga Marathon offers a range of options for all abilities and experience levels, from a 2K fun run to a half marathon and full marathon. With an elevation decline of nearly 100 meters from the start of the race to its end, the Mississauga half marathon covers 21.5 kilometers.

The 2017 half marathon will be held May 7, beginning and ending at the same points as the full marathon but without its lengthy loop. To keep runners safe, officials maintain aid stations approximately every four kilometers. The half marathon is open to both runners and walkers.
