Course description: 5 mile course: same beautiful but challenging course since 1979. Start and end beside the Sir James Dunn Academy High School on Prince of Wales. Course starts out down/ flat for the 1st mile, the 2nd mile is flat and straight down Water St. The 3rd mile starts flat, has a short down and then a medium steepness 200m up hill, leveling out on Cedar Lane. The 4th mile is flat or slight down with a sharp up going by the arena. The final mile begins with a steep downhill followed by a steep tough lung/leg-burner hill peaking at the Algonquin. The last 500m of race is downhill to finish beside the high school. Most runners say that the course is tough but fair ;-)

2km Irving LiveWell Series Kids Race Course: Start at 9:45 at stop sign beside the Sir James Dunn Academy High School on Prince of Wales. Course starts down/flat for about 800m before taking a left on the trail (former CN train tracks). The trail is flat and wide with the marsh and ocean on the right and goes for another 800m where it meets the Ernest St. extension. Take a left on this street up and over the hill until you come to Prince of Wales again. A final right and it’s about 400m to the finish but it’s slightly uphill! The finish is at the stop sign on the cemetery corner. There is also a shorter 500m out and back on the same route for younger children.
