It’s time to do something special on the virtual playing field, Canada.
On Sept. 26, Sportsnet invites you and your family to join the virtual 2020 motionball Marathon of Sport, a national interactive fitness fundraiser with proceeds supporting the Special Olympics Canada Foundation.
Hosted by five-time Olympic medalist Tessa Virtue, Marathon of Sport will feature some of your favourite Canadian sports celebrities challenging you to a variety of sport and fitness activities. There will also be special appearances by Sportsnet’s Caroline Cameron and Evanka Osmak during this hour-long, interactive virtual event.
Canadians across the country can join Marathon of Sport from the comfort of their home on Sept. 26 at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT on Sportsnet ONE, right here on sportsnet.ca or on Sportsnet’s YouTube or Facebook pages.
There is no age limit, no registration fee required and you can recruit as many teammates as you want to join a team from coast-to-coast. Visit the Marathon of Sport website to register your team or sign up as an individual for the event. You can also tune in without registering for an entertaining hour of fitness and fun.
With many local fundraising initiatives on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this fundraiser will make an impact in the lives of Special Olympics athletes from across the country. Donations for Marathon of Sport will help to fund Special Olympics programs and ensure no athlete is left behind.
