Legs for Literacy is an annual marathon held in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada in October.
In 2017, the event featured a total of 2,270 finishers, and approximately 300 more in the family run/walk held the day prior.
The event has had numerous sponsors, including Recharge With Milk (a campaign by Dairy Farmers of Canada), Majesta, AstraZeneca, Subway, Booster Juice, Tim Hortons, Medavie Blue Cross, the Royal Bank of Canada, Running Room, GoodLife Fitness, and UNI Financial Cooperation, among others.
[5] Legs for Literacy was started in 2000 by a small group of local runners and a team of volunteers.
Participants exit the trail just prior to the riverfront playground and continue on the west-bound lane of Coverdale Road.
Just past the Atlantic Superstore, participants enter back onto the riverfront trail and head towards the Petitcodiac River Causeway.
Participants cross Amirault, then continue on a slight uphill to Pointe aux Renards, and proceed to the end of Pointe aux Renards, turning right onto trail which leads back to the trail head at Gillespie.
Runners in each of these events, regardless of the distance they ran, received medals that can be combined to form a "mega-medal" known as the "Tri-City Medallion."
The June 2013 edition of iRun listed the Tri-City run as one of Canada's unique races.
