Marathon of Sport to be held at Oakridge Secondary School
Marathon of Sport London will be held Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 9:30 am to 4 pm at Oakridge Secondary School. Organized by the national non-profit organization ‘motionball’, the event brings together participants of all abilities for a high-energy, full-day event of team-based sports. Local Special Olympics athletes will each join a team as they play against one another in friendly competition, in a variety of activities, including basketball, soccer, giant pong, benchball, and more. Registration is currently open at marathonofsport.com/getstarted.

Last year’s event raised $26,000 for Special Olympics Canada Foundation, and organizers hope to surpass that this year, to help provide funding and visibility for local Special Olympics athletes. Participants will enjoy a light breakfast featuring coffee and fresh pastries, with lunch served between games. They will receive a motionball participant shirt, a motionball hat and a drink ticket for the official afterparty in downtown London. To learn more about how you can register and participate in motionball’s Marathon of Sport, visit: motionball.com/london.
