BUILT on Paper... LACED with Gold

Marathon truly is a great place to live, work and play, and is unique in many respects.  Being an economic and retail hub on the north shore of Lake Superior located midway between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay, Marathon is surrounded by boreal forest and rich mineral deposits. With a population of 4,400, 72% of whom are under 45 years of age, Marathon vibrates with growth and activity. 

  

The Opportunities

In Marathon, plenty of reasonably priced land is available for development, or take advantage of one of the many fully-serviced pre-existing buildings which are available. Taking advantage of our real estate market truly is an advantage.

Marathon is the economic hub between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie, making it a prime trading area. Within a four hour drive east or west, the potential of attracting approximately 250,000 potential customers, clients or employees exists.

The Location

Marathon is centrally located on Highway 17 in Ontario with proximity to major markets in the United States Midwest (including Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago), as well as Southern Ontario (Toronto).

Take advantage of Marathon's transportation network. This includes major highway, freight rail, harbour, and airport access, to move your goods and services to markets that will build and grow your business.

The Quality of Life

Marathon's quality of life is second to none.  Its modern telecommunications infrastructure, excellent health and social services, retail shopping, abounding recreation opportunities, and its friendly people, make Marathon a genuinely unique community.
