Join us on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 10am for the 5th annual Bootstrap Boogie trail race. Both the 9km and the 17km offer some of the most beautiful views in the maritimes. Runners will enjoy primarily single track trails with a beach and a dirt road thrown in. The 17km runners will also enjoy a few boardwalk sections.
NEW: Canadian law now requires businesses/organizations/groups to include any mandatory fees in the price displayed. For this reason, the advertised price for all sub-events now INCLUDES the Race Roster fees.
