Why Monctonians love this one
- It's basically in your backyard. The start line at the Dieppe Aquatic Centre (111 Aquatique St) is a 10-minute drive from downtown Moncton and even closer if you live in east Moncton or Dieppe. No hotel, no highway trip, no 5 AM alarm.
- A holiday Monday at 9:00 AM. Thanksgiving Monday means no work conflict. Run at 9, be home before the turkey goes in the oven.
- Point-to-point course with a free shuttle to the start. You'll start at the Dieppe Aquatic Centre and finish at the beautiful Parc Rotary St-Anselme, one of the Moncton area's favourite trail parks. Park at the finish, ride the free shuttle to the start, and run back to your car.
- Everyone finishes a winner. Chip timing for those chasing a PB, a medal for every finisher, and no minimum pace for families, first-timers, and anyone who just wants a crisp fall morning outside.
- Your entry builds trails. The race is organized by MDR Trails, the local non-profit connecting Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview through a continuous trail network. Registration fees go back into the trails you'll be running on.
