Runner’s World used criteria such as geographical diversity and participant reviews in compiling the lists.
“This nomination is not only awesome, but shows that the hard work and passion of our team for organizing this marathon is being shown across the US,” said Brian Davis, race director and owner of Energy Events, which manages the Vancouver USA Marathon. “It has always been our mission to create a great event that sets us apart from the other races and now one of the most reliable running resources has proclaimed the same. We have put Vancouver USA on the ‘map of marathons.’”
“We designed the marathon to have a small, local appeal, but wanted people to travel from around the country to experience it,” added Tim Ahaus, marketing consultant for Energy Events. “We used the ‘think global, act local’ approach and now we’re getting the press and notoriety rightfully deserved from everyone’s hard work. This marathon will continue to grow as runners see it as one of the best values anywhere in the US.”
