All three races start and finish on the Algonquin Trail at the intersection of Murphy Road and Petawawa Boulevard across the street from Kelsey's Restaurant. The 3.2km Munchkin Run starts at 10:30am and is for runners U14, it heads west on the Algonquin Trail (crushed limestone surface) and then winds through Kiddyland Park on grass surface before emerging back onto Algonquin Trail where it continues west to Doran Road where runners will then turn around and retrace their steps to the finish line. The 5km trail run starts at 9:00am and is open to all runners with race categories of U50 and 50+. It heads west on the Algonquin Trail until runners cross a bridge over the rushing Petawawa River and then reach Paquette Road. A quick right through some sandy uneven terrain for 25m brings runners to their return journey along a paved path, crossing another bridge over the mighty Petawawa River until they rejoin the Algonquin Trail at Portage Road for the home stretch back to the finish. The 10km trail run begins at the same time as the 5km race at 9:00am and follows the same path until Paquette Road where runners will turn left and follow a newly resurfaced section of the Algonquin Trail until they near Highway 17 where the trail veers up a small hill to an uneven trail through a wooded area where there will be a turnaround point at the 5km mark. Runners will then proceed back the same way they came, eventually joining the paved path, back over the Petawawa River to the finish line. It is a scenic run through the town of Petawawa suitable for runners of all ages and abilities.
