After last year's very successful inaugural event, motionball Marathon of Sport St. John's is returning on Saturday, October 24th at the NL Sports Centre, and we want your help!

motionball is a national not-for-profit organization that raises funds and awareness for the Special Olympics Canada Foundation. motionball hosts over 50 annual events across Canada and we’re excited to host the flagship event, Marathon of Sport in St. John's again this year!

What is Marathon of Sport? Marathon of Sport is a fun-filled day of sport bringing together 200 young professionals from the community with 20+ local Special Olympics athletes. Together, they will participate in a variety of sports and activities including but not limited to soccer, basketball, tic tac toe relay, benchball and more!

An event of this magnitude doesn’t happen without the support of Volunteers and we hope you will join us to support from the sidelines! We have many opportunities available from registration, sports refs and raffle, and more.

To learn more about the volunteer opportunities available and to register, please click the link below. If you have any friends, family or colleagues who may be interested in signing up, please feel free to share!

Thank you for your ongoing support of motionball St. John's! We hope to see you Oct. 24th!
