Valley Harvest Marathon

Meet 👋

Satnam is no stranger to our race community, having been a Blue Nose Marathon Brand'er for the past three years, and this fall he's joining our very first Valley Harvesters team 🍎

Satnam has been running for over 20 years and loves sharing his passion for the sport with others. After experiencing his first Valley Harvest Marathon last year, he fell in love with the beautiful scenery, crisp fall air, and welcoming community. This fall, he'll be taking on the Half Marathon.

Whether he's inspiring co-workers to sign up for their first relay at the Medavie Blue Nose Marathon, encouraging neighbours to lace up their running shoes, or sharing his journey online, Satnam is passionate about helping more people discover the joy of running. He's excited to welcome new runners to the Valley Harvest community and showcase everything that makes race weekend in the Annapolis Valley so special. 🍂

We'll be introducing the rest of our Valley Harvesters team in the next few weeks 🏃

Follow along on their training journeys, and get excited for race weekend with us! 🌾
