This is our TENTH ANNUAL event! Run in two provinces in one race! New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The course is closed to traffic on paved roads with a hard packed dirt road crossing the marsh, and 100 volunteers to support you.
There are finishers medals and tech t-shirts.
Runners and walkers welcome on the 5k and 10k and runners in the 1/2 marathon.
We have showers at the Amherst Stadium, shelters and porta-potties at the start line, more porta-potties and five first aid stations on the course, and food at the finish.
We have trophies for the top 3 M/F overall and 1st place in each age group in the 10k and the half marathon.
Kit pick up is from 5PM FRIDAY until 7.00 PM at the Cumberland Y and on Saturday from 6;00 AM to 8:00AM at the Amherst Stadium. Bus transportation to the start line is at the Amherst Stadium, 185 Church Street, Amherst.
