Dartmouth Natal Day Road Races 2023

Welcome to the 117th Edition of the Dartmouth Natal Day Road Races.

We are pleased to announce that the Dartmouth Natal Day Road Races will be held on August 7, 2023. We are proud to continue our tradition of being one of the longest running events in the Halifax/Dartmouth Natal Day Festival.

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.

In 2023 we will return to our traditional course and offer the two mile and six mile events. Both races start and finish near Christ Church on Ochterloney Street.

Both races have been selected for the 2023 Run Nova Scotia Road Race Series.

The 6 Mile race is part of the 2023 Run Nova Scotia Performance Series.
