The Manitoba Marathon weekend consists of a marathon, half marathon, marathon relay, 10 km race, and 5 km fun run. The marathon was first run in the City of Winnipeg in 1979 and has generally been held annually on Father's Day since then. In 2019, about 10,000 runners in total participated over the weekend, including 655 who finished the marathon.
The half marathon is also being held as the Canadian Half Marathon Championships from 2019 to 2024.
The 2020 in-person edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2022, the race was cancelled mid race due to dangerous heat levels. Participants in the five- and 10-kilometre races were allowed to complete their runs, but the half marathon, relay, 50 kilometer and full marathon were cancelled. Some runners did proceed to finish their race unofficially at their own risk.
The 2026 race saw a new record of 14,000 runners at the event.
