Participants will run through the scenic and vibrant streets of downtown Fredericton. The race takes place in a flat and fast trail network that winds through the heart of this historic city. On race morning, expect cool temperatures with a high around 16 degrees Celsius; it feels much like the temperature as it is humid but not oppressive at 78 percent.
The event has been running for over four decades, making it one of Fredericton's most cherished traditions. With thousands of runners participating each year and proceeds going to local charities, this race holds a special place in the community. This year marks its 43rd edition, with hundreds of participants expected once again.
### COURSE AND CONDITIONS
The course offers scenic views along Fredericton’s well-maintained trails. The terrain is generally flat but can be firm and slightly soft on certain sections due to recent rain. Runners will appreciate the absence of significant elevation changes as they run either 5K, 10K, or half marathon distances. Notable features include a short section through Greenmere Park that showcases the city's natural beauty.
Start times are staggered for different distances, ensuring smooth transitions and minimal congestion. There is one aid station along each course to offer water and energy gels. The race will conclude in downtown Fredericton near City Hall, where participants can enjoy post-race festivities.
### WEATHER
On the morning of September 26th, expect temperatures ranging from a low of around 11 degrees Celsius to a high of about 21 degrees Celsius. With an average wind speed of 9.6 kilometers per hour and humidity at 78 percent, it will feel comfortably cool but humid. Precipitation is expected with a small chance of light rain, adding just enough moisture to the air.
### DISTANCES
The race offers distances from a flat 5K through the downtown area to the challenging half marathon. A FREE kids run and a three-kilometer fun run are also available for younger participants on Saturday morning. Registration is only required for those participating in adult races, with on-site registration options for all events.
