Welcome to the 115th Edition of the Dartmouth Natal Day Road Races.
Fast Company Running Club is pleased to announce the return of the Dartmouth Natal Day Road Races on August 1, 2022
This prestigious event is one of the oldest road races in North America.
Competitive runners, recreational runners and walkers are all encouraged to participate. We take pride in being a fun and affordable event for the whole family.
For 2022 we will be sharing our Dartmouth stage with another exciting event, the World Sprint Canoe Championships on Lake Banook. In order for each event to operate effectively we have revised our usual course and made the distance slightly shorter. The shorter race will be a single loop of 1.8 miles and the longer race will be three loops and a distance of 5.4 miles. Both races start and finish at Christ Church on Ochterloney St.
Both races have been selected for the 2022 Run Nova Scotia Road Race Series.

Dartmouth, NS, CA
The course is open to traffic but is well controlled by police and course marshals for your saftey. After 9:00 AM we may lose some police support and traffic will be heavier as the number of participants on the course declines. If it will take you more than 1 hour to complete the race, please move to the side of the road and be cautious, particularly for the last mile along Portland St and Alderney Dr. The finish line will remain open until at least 9:45 AM.
