Our affordable city offers the amenities you expect from a big urban centre in an easy-going, friendly atmosphere. Winnipeg is proud to boast large, modern first-class sporting facilities, and exceptional community support for sport and athletes. Winnipeg is continuing its growth as a sports city, as it gears up to host national events like the 2017 Canada Summer Games, and after hosting successful international events like the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and more recently the 2016 Heritage Classic. What makes us confident in the success of events like these is the support of our partners in the corporate community who can bring the spectacular facilities and resources that make Winnipeg truly shine. We are proud of our work on previous events that showcase Canada's hardworking athletes, and know that being a centre of sports excellence will allow us to continue boosting our already great track record as hosts. With our large, experienced volunteer base and a community commitment to embracing our hosting responsibilities, we are excited to host the 2019-2022 10km or Half-Marathon Championships Sincerely, Annie Henry Business Development Manager TOURISM WINNIPEG
