USR Uniformed Services Run St. John's, Canada   Sep 7, 2025

The oldest marathon in Canada, the third-oldest in North America (after New York and Boston), and the twelfth-oldest in the world is set for this September.

The Nautilus Running Club organized this event for 30 years, branded it the “Huffin’ Puffin” in 2010 with introduction of the Team Relay, and welcomed Capital Subaru as title sponsor in 2016. Events for 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to Covid-19, and in 2022 the race was turned over to Athletics NorthEAST for incorporation into the USR Uniformed Services Run. The USR was created to support charities chosen by our Uniformed Services.

In 2022, the USR was moved to September, the Provincial Marathon was added along with new courses. Building on these experiences, this year will be bigger and better!
