The 2023 RunNB Maritime Challenge

RunNB launched the RunNB 2022 Maritime Challenge 4000 last December.  The Challenge included New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia and allowed runners and walkers from the Maritimes and beyond to challenge themselves to cover the 4000 km distance over a 12-month period.

Marcelle Breau, of Tracadie , the top winner of the 2022 RunNB Challenge, managed to cover 7645 km with still 18 days left before the deadline. Her husband, Jean-Marie, finished second with 6317.1 km to his credit. Marcelle and Jean-Marie Breau ran or walked almost everyday, at least twice and often 3 times a day. The first outing would take place in the morning, the second in late afternoon and finally another one after supper. Before setting out for their first walk or run of the day, they would check the dashboard to look at the positions of the other participants in the Challenge. The couple wore out 5 pairs of running shoes during the year, one new pair of shoes every two months. When the weather was bad, they ran on their treadmill. Marcelle and Jean-Marie consider the Challenge as an excellent motivator for staying active all year round.

Anne Desrosiers and Mariette Quimper both of Campbellton finished third and fourth in the Challenge with 6261.1 km for Desrosiers and 6026.6 km for Quimper.  The two friends often walked together and their daily outings matched those of Marcelle and Jean-Marie Breau, two to three times per day.  Both also followed the progress of their competitors on the dashboard.  Their determination and their love of the great outdoors made this challenge a perfect time to strengthen their friendship and to stay healthy.
