Mississauga Marathon
marathon race held in Mississauga
The Mississauga Marathon was an annual marathon race held in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. It was held from 2004 to 2022. The race was a qualifier for the Boston Marathon.
In 2023, it was replaced by a new event, the Mississauga Half, which included a half marathon, 10K and 5K races due to new ownership. In 2024, the marathon event is brought back as Beneva becomes the new sponsor for the 42 km event. Mississauga Marathon is again offering all formats of the event, including full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K.

Route
This point to point course is a fast net downhill. The course starts at Mississauga's City Hall, and makes its way west across the Credit River to Mississauga Road and then travels south for a beautiful stretch past the University of Toronto's Mississauga Campus, Mississauga Golf and Country Club, and continues through some of Mississauga's most beautiful residential neighbourhoods, before winding along the scenic Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail, and back along the Lakeshore to the finish at Lakefront Promenade Park. Small inclines are found at 10 km and 24 km.

Why this record matters
The phrase “marathon race held in Mississauga” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 13, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6878972. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
