Blue Nose Marathon is proud to announce Medavie as the new title sponsor of the Blue Nose Marathon, Atlantic Canada’s largest annual running and walking event based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, to be known as the Medavie Blue Nose Marathon.
“We’re thrilled to have Medavie on board as our title sponsor,” said Sherri Robbins, Executive Director, Blue Nose Marathon. “As our partner for the last 13 years, they continue to demonstrate their commitment to helping people live healthier lives and fostering community engagement – those actions align perfectly with what drives us at Blue Nose Marathon.”

Together, they’re strengthening a platform where every charity—no matter its size—can make a meaningful difference.
Medavie’s partnership with the Blue Nose Marathon goes beyond race day. It’s about championing a movement—one that builds healthier communities, promotes equitable access to care, and creates a future where every Canadian can thrive.
“At Medavie, our mission is rooted in improving the wellbeing of Canadians,” said Patty Faith, Chief Brand and Reputation Officer, Medavie. “We believe health is a shared responsibility, and our sponsorship of the Blue Nose Marathon reflects that belief in action.
