Visitor Information Prince Edward Island Prince Edward Island has proven to be a great place for a marathon. It's a great place, period. A stunning little island cradled in the waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence that combines historic charm with a modern sensibility.

So if you're planning to participate, you're likely to enjoy your pre and post-marathon time as much as the event itself. And if you're traveling with friends or family who aren't runners, not to worry. There is plenty for them to enjoy while you're occupied with the marathon.
