Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada) - "Emera Blue Nose Marathon". The Emera Blue Nose Full Marathon begins and ends in the downtown core, but not before crossing over and showcasing some of the beautiful neighbourhoods of Dartmouth. Halifax has gained a reputation for being a little "hill-y" but it is nothing you can't handle (we are sure of it!). You can also find comfort in knowing that the whole city will be cheering you on from the sidelines. www.bluenosemarathon.com
