The Course
The race starts and finishes on the campus of Acadia University, one of the most historic and picturesque university campuses in Canada. The start line is on Main Street, directly in front of the Atlantic Theatre Festival. You will first do a short lap in downtown Wolfville, running past quaint cafes, pubs and shops, before heading west out of town toward the village of Greenwich. From there, you will then run past apple orchards, horse farms and pastoral scenery, through gently rolling, but mostly flat terrain, as you take in the splendour of the Valley during our Autumn Harvest.
The Half marathon features some gently rolling terrain, while the Full Marathon presents a few moderate hills. Whether you are doing the Half or the Full, you will finish back in Wolfville, at the grandstand of Acadia University's legendary Raymond Field. You will enter the track on the opposite side of the grandstand, giving you a 3/4 lap on the track as you are "brought home" to the noise of the crowd and the Run Nova Scotia Race Crew!
The 5km is a flat out and back fun run, on pavement and groomed trail, featuring chip timing. The run will begin at the Marathon start line and will finish at the Acadia University Raymond Field stadium.
