The Labour Day Classic began as the Prince George to Boston Marathon, a 17-mile road race from Salmon Valley into the city. 

The race has the distinction of being the event that convinced Terry Fox to embark on his Marathon of Hope (click here for full details).  

PGRR’s Board of Directors voted unanimously in favour of acquiring the Labour Day Classic in the fall of 2019, when there were concerns the race would disappear from the Prince George landscape.
