The Manitoba Marathon has made great strides to increase safety, reduce the traffic congestion and get our participants and spectators to the start line on time.

 

Bison Bus Shuttle Park and Ride

Our Bison Bus Shuttle service is your BEST option for getting to the race! Service begins at 5:30am and buses leave 5-10 minutes from each location.

 

Shuttles will operate from the following locations in close proximity (<20 minutes)to the University Campus:

 

 

Manitoba Hydro Lot (Chevrier)

Clarence Station (Winnipeg Rapid Transit) – ACCESSIBLE

Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex (Waverley St.)

Seel Station (Winnipeg Rapid Transit) – ACCESSIBLE

Individual wristbands can be purchased during the registration process, or by visiting the online store after you are registered. All wristbands are $10 per rider.

Wristbands will be specific to the shuttle location selected. While we can accommodate up to 1000 shuttle riders from each location,  each lot has a finite number of parking spaces. There are two options for purchase; wristbands that include a parking pass, as well as wristbands that are for riders only. Please plan to carpool to the shuttle locations and make your selections accordingly so that we can transport as many participants as possible.

Additional wristbands will be available for purchase online and at the Fit Expo based on availability.

Purchase a Wristband

Wristbands are required to ride the shuttle on race day and will not be available for purchase at the shuttle locations.

All shuttles will drop off and pick up at the Stadium Station and enter Princess Auto Stadium through gate 3 on race day.
