David Vs. Goliath
Located across King Street from outdoor adventure giants, MEC, Marathon might be the little guy but this shop packs quality as well as hard-to-find brand names and styles. They carry all the standards that come to mind when you think about camping. The in-the-know staff at Marathon will fit you properly and tell you what you should be looking for so you can choose the luggage that’s right for your back, height, hips and shoulders. At the end of a long day on the trail, you’ll thank them! Check out their selection of day packs, weekend bags, serious trekking backpacks, alpine packs and products from Heys Luggage International: hard-sided suitcases that come in bright, easy-to-spot colours.
Setting Up Site
Since camping is synonymous with most kinds of outdoor adventure—paddling, hiking, climbing, caving, cycling—Marathon carries everything you need for overnights. Tents, hammocks, collapsible furniture, snacks, stoves, high-energy meals and tables. They also stock shoes for everything from light hiking, to mountain climbing, to serious trail running.
Best Dressed
You’ll find clothing for all seasons including plenty of gear from Norway-based outdoor experts Helly Hansen. Marathon has a wide selection of rain pants and jackets to keep you dry in the most torrential downpour. Their light summer wear wicks sweat away from your body, keeping you dry in the most humid conditions. Insulated winter wear ensures you’re toasty on mountaintops and Marathon’s hip, functional swimwear is perfect for the days you want to get wet.
