The following race classes are being offered:

5 km 1 Dog Bikejoring
2 km 1 Dog Canicross

5 km Race route:
This route is a fairly wide and varied cross country trail with a few hills and some fast flat sections thrown in. The primarily wooded course takes you in a fox-shaped loop with lots of room for safe passing without meeting any teams head on. The trail is very obvious, though the race course will be well marked.
2 km Discovery Route:
This route is also wide and begins at the same start line as the 5m route. Footing is packed dirt with a short crusher dust section. The City of Moncton has done a phenomenal job with these trails and they are an absolute pleasure to run and bike!
NOTE: Route maps are posted on our Facebook event!
