9km & 17km Trail Race

Join us on Saturday, October 31st at 10am for the 6th 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.
